Picking up from where [[Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue 9]] left off, Issue 10 opens with [[John-117]] having a flashback of his childhood prior to his [[SPARTAN-II]] conscription and reflecting on his life while the [[Ur-Didact]] crushes his helmet, cracking his visor and exposing his left eye. The Master Chief realizes that despite having faced death countless times, he is not ready to die yet. Before the Didact can kill him, however, the rest of [[Blue Team]] rush to his rescue.

The Master Chief realizes that despite having faced death countless times, he is not ready to die yet. Before the Didact can kill him, however, the rest of [[Blue Team]] rush to his rescue. The Didact throws John at [[Frederic-104]], incapacitating the two, while [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]] engage the Forerunner. However, the Didact's armor becomes immune to the Spartans' attacks and he promptly throws both to the ground. Towering over the Spartans and gloating his victory, the Didact allows Fred to fire his weapon one more time to grant him an honorable death. However, [[859 Static Carillon]] suddenly attacks the Didact from behind, disabling him and translocating him away via an emergency [[slipspace translocation|teleport]]. | ||
While the Spartans recover the monitor lectures them on the [[Warrior-Servant]]s' ability to attune their armor to enemy weaponry. It is then revealed that the Didact was teleported into the Halo's [[Control Room (Installation 03)|control room]] — the most secure location on the ring. While Static Carillon admits this was "severe tactical error", it reasons that the Didact would have killed the Spartans otherwise and reached the control room anyway. John then picks up the [[activation index]] the Didact was previously carrying, stating he knows a weapon he cannot adapt to. | While the Spartans recover the monitor lectures them on the [[Warrior-Servant]]s' ability to attune their armor to enemy weaponry.

The Didact's fate is left ambiguous | *The Didact's fate is left somewhat ambiguous; the depiction of his demise heavily indicates that he was composed, which seems to be confirmed by his page on Halo Waypoint, which states that the Didact was 'effectively turned into a digital essence'. However, in the Library Edition of Halo: Escalation, it's stated by Brian Reed that the Didact wasn't composed but the explosion did do something to him. | ||
**The novel ''[[Halo: Epitaph]]'' reveals that the raw destructive neural physics of five exploding Composers at once was too much for his mutations to protect him from and the Didact was Composed. | |||
