In [[2557]], the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', arrived in-system to use the [[Composer]] to digitize humanity. Having been forewarned by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the Home Fleet was ready and led by the ''Infinity,'' engaged ''Mantle's Approach.'' [[Battlegroup Dakota]], led by the ''Infinity'' moved into position to confront the Didact's flagship, sustaining some losses due to the vessel's superior defenses. However, after learning that the [[John-117|Master Chief]] was on a [[Broadsword]] fighter with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|nuclear weapon]], the Home Fleet let him handle it, with the ''Infinity'' blasting a hole into the ship with her MAC gun so the Chief could enter after he took out the point-defense guns. After the ship was destroyed, the ''Infinity'' rescued the Master Chief from the debris field. | In [[2557]], the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', arrived in-system to use the [[Composer]] to digitize humanity.

In [[2558]] when [[Cortana]] reemerged as the new leader of the [[Created]] after her presumed destruction during the Didact's earlier attack, she activated a series of [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]]s to enforce the will of the [[Mantle]], now believing AIs to be the true Reclaimers of the galaxy. The ''Infinity'' and her escorts again rushed to Earth's defense as a Guardian appeared above Earth, with the Home Fleet and the orbital defense grid scrambling their defenses in the wake of this new threat. However, having witnessed the capabilities of the Guardians, the crew of the ''Infinity'' instead chose to retreat, narrowly escaping the massive EMP blast that shut down all technology on Earth, rendering the Home Fleet utterly defenseless as their own vessels were also disabled in orbit. | In [[2558]] when [[Cortana]] reemerged as the new leader of the [[Created]] after her presumed destruction during the Didact's earlier attack, she activated a series of [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]]s to enforce the will of the [[Mantle]], now believing AIs to be the true Reclaimers of the galaxy.
