Meanwhile, 'Mdama plotted his escape. While he no longer believed that the [[Forerunner]]s were gods, he pretended to remain a devout follower of the [[Covenant religion]] as a cover for visiting Forerunner sites, enabling him to learn about various parts of Forerunner history. During his stay on the planet he was fed genetically modified versions of food from Sanghelios, causing him to feel very sick.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]''', ''page 62''</ref> 'Mdama had several conversations with his [[Huragok]] escort, [[Prone to Drift]]; he learned about the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] and how he was sealed away on a [[shield world]], [[Requiem]], as well as that Requiem's location was kept from the Huragok. During this time he also learned of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s plans to eradicate the Sangheili.<ref name="ttw275">'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 275''</ref> He was later reunited with Professor Phillips.

===Requiem and the Didact===

{{Quote|Requiem's treasures shall be ours.|'Mdama after discovering Requiem}}

'Mdama and his followers arrived at Requiem in [[2554]]. Over the next three years his Covenant tried to enter the planet, but to no avail. In [[2557#July|July 2557]], several of his ships identified a human vessel, {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, drifting toward the planet. 'Mdama ordered his troops to board the ship and keep the humans away from Requiem.<ref name="terminal">''Halo 4'', [[Terminal (Halo 4)|Prologue terminal]]</ref> They were unsuccessful as the human and Covenant ships in the area were pulled inside Requiem's outer shell. Jul and his forces were eventually able to find their way to [[Core of Requiem|the core]], where the Didact's [[Cryptum]] was located. Jul landed near the Didact's Cryptum and personally engaged [[Promethean]] forces under the [[Librarian]]'s control. [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] unknowingly opened the Cryptum, releasing the Didact. 'Mdama and his forces stopped fighting immediately to bow to the Promethean; Jul quickly recognized the Forerunner and called out his name.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/01/16/The-Halo-Bulletin-11613.aspx '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 1.16.13'']</ref> His Covenant later engaged the crew of {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} after the ship's arrival<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign levels ''[[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]]'', ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]'', and ''[[Shutdown]]''</ref> and eventually followed the Didact to ONI's [[Ivanoff Station]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref>
