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 kill them, unaware of John's location. As the Didact was about to execute Kelly, John snuck up behind the Forerunner and stabbed him in the eye with a [[combat knife]]. Intending to correct his mistake of not having killed the Spartan when he had the chance, the Didact grabbed John by the head, lifted him up in the air, and crushed his helmet.<ref name="HE9"/> However, the rest of Blue Team intervened, forcing the Didact to throw John aside. The Forerunner quickly subdued all four Spartans, but Static Carillon attacked the Didact from behind and teleported him away before he could finish them off.<ref name="HE10">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''</ref> | ||
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 had the ability to attune itself to enemy weaponry, John grabbed the installation's activation index (which the Didact dropped when Static Carillon attacked him) 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.
