The Didact's Gift is a Forerunner device located on Requiem. It contains the "soul" of a Promethean Knight.
History
At some point in 2557 or 2558, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant remnant forces acquired the "Gift". During Fireteam Crimson's pursuit of 'Mdama, Commander Sarah Palmer called in an airstrike which forced the Sangheili to drop the device during his escape. Crimson quickly secured the device and brought it to Galileo Base for examination. A joint Covenant-Promethean force attacked the base to retrieve the artifact, though they were repelled by Fireteam Crimson. Fireteam Majestic arrived soon after to secure it.[1]
The Gift was taken aboard the UNSC Infinity, where it was studied by Dr. Catherine Halsey and the ship's AI, Roland. Upon being tampered with, the outer casing of the device split into multiple levitating fragments, revealing an object within that Dr. Halsey noted was similar to a UNSC AI matrix. Suddenly, the device released an energy burst, and began to display images on the ship's monitors; these were then identified as memories of those who died in the Didact's attack on New Phoenix, URNA six months prior.[2] One of these images showed another [[|Requiem translocation artifact|mysterious Forerunner artifact]] that was currently located in the Infinity's docking bay, indicating that the artifact was present in New Phoenix during the attack.
