 As they approach Janjur Qom, it becomes apparent that they have walked into a trap engineered by the Didact's ancient enemy, the [[Faber|Master Builder]]. The world is in ruins, swarming with Forerunner ships and war machines; the San 'Shyuum have attempted [[Battle of Janjur Qom|a rebellion]] that is now being violently suppressed. The Didact's ship is swiftly intercepted and dismantled by a superior force of Forerunner warships and its occupants are captured and taken aboard the Master Builder's ship. Before this, Bornstellar witnesses a [[Halo Array|Halo ring]] transition over the San 'Shyuum world. Bornstellar is then questioned by the Master Builder, but has few answers. Frustrated, the Master Builder sends Bornstellar back to his family, while the Didact and the two humans remain in captivity.
-Bornstellar is sent to the [[Orion complex]], where he is reunited with his family. On [[Bornstellar's homeworld|their homeworld]], he studies Forerunner history and discovers the Master Builder's plan to gain more power and to diminish the role of the Warrior-Servants — a scheme that has been in motion since conclusion of the human-Forerunner wars. This plan involves removing the Warrior rate from the [[Ecumene Council]], and a Builder weapon that would make all other weapons obsolete — Halo. Over time, Bornstellar also finds that the Didact's memories and consciousness — gained as a byproduct of his mutation — are slowly gaining more and more prominence within him, with the Didact occasionally making comments and observations in his mind.

 One day, exploring his family's vast [[domicile]], Bornstellar overhears his father and another Builder conversing in secret. It is revealed that the Master Builder activated the Halo ring at Janjur Qom, as punishment for the San 'Shyuum rebellion. The Council disapproves of this use, considering Halo installations as weapons of last resort. They also discuss a [[Installation 07|missing Halo ring]] that was tested near Charum Hakkor. Further complicating this is the fact that a powerful, [[metarch]]-level ancilla went missing with it. The next day, Bornstellar confronts his family with a message from the Didact within. He reveals that he knows of the missing Halo installation, and that it released the creature imprisoned on Charum Hakkor. Bornstellar's father, the designer of the Halo rings, is at first reluctant to discuss the matter, but reveals that Bornstellar has been asked to come to the Forerunner capital to testify against the Master Builder in a trial held for his violation of the Mantle.
