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. Dr. Halsey indicated the similarity of the artifact to the UNSC's AI matrix compiler, which she had created. Suddenly, the device began to display memories of those who died in the Didact's attack on New Phoenix, URNA, six months prior.[2]
