(Saying 'forcing him' is better. It mentions in the aftermath that he was composed. Adding that he killed Blackteam rather brutally.) |

On Gamma Halo, the science team and Team Black were based in a camp on one of the ring's deserts, nearby the [[Composer]]'s original location on the installation. However, the Didact, along with several [[Promethean Knight]]s and [[Promethean Crawler|Crawlers]], arrived via a slipspace portal and crash landed near Black's location. When Black went to investigate, the Didact awoke and swiftly killed all four Spartans. At the same time, the science team was attacked and killed by Knights and Crawlers. Shortly afterwards, the Didact encountered [[859 Static Carillon]], monitor of the [[Composer's Forge]], who had come to investigate the opening of a service portal to the ring. The Didact demanded that Static take him to the Composer's Forge. Static agreed, on the condition that the Didact would not use the Forge to produce more Prometheans.<ref name="HE9">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue #9]]''</ref> | On Gamma Halo, the science team and Team Black were based in a camp on one of the ring's deserts, nearby the [[Composer]]'s original location on the installation.

Due to the loss of contact with the team, [[Terrence Hood|Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood]] sent [[Blue Team]], consisting of [[Fred-104]], [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Linda-058]], to investigate Team Black's disappearance.

Blue Team returned to the surface of [[Installation 03]] from the [[Composer's Abyss]] and made it just in time to witness the Didact's new Composer rising from the Abyss. John fell behind the rest of Blue Team—due to his conversation with Static Carillon—while the Didact confronted Fred, Kelly, and Linda. The Didact attacked the Spartans and prepared to finish them off, unaware of John's location. As the Didact was about to execute Kelly, the John snuck behind the Forerunner and stabbed him in the eye with a [[combat knife]].

The monitor revealed that he had teleported the Warrior-Servant into the Halo's [[Control Room (Installation 03)|control room]], as it is the most secure location on the installation. Although Static Carillon admitted that teleporting the Didact to the control room was a "severe tactical error", it reasoned that the Didact would have killed the Spartans otherwise and reached the control room anyway. After the monitor told the Spartans that the Didact's armor has the ability to attune itself to enemy weaponry, John grabbed the installation's activation index and formulated a new plan to defeat the Didact. | The monitor revealed that he had teleported the Warrior-Servant into the Halo's [[Control Room (Installation 03)|control room]], as it is the most secure location on the installation.

As John made his way to the control room, the rest of Blue Team returned to their Longsword. Meanwhile, in the control room, the Didact was confused that the monitor would be willing to aid the humans yet further his own plans. John entered the control room behind the Didact and wished to talk with the Didact rather than fight at the moment, much to the confusion of the Forerunner. John explained to him that while his many attempts to kill the Didact conventionally had failed he must now take a different approach. The Spartan inserted the index into [[the Core]] of the installation.
