After reclaiming Installation 07, the Didact imprisoned the Primordial, and alongside the wounded [[Chakas]], interrogated the entity. During the course of their conversation, they came to realize that the Primordial is not what they initially thought it was. Even as it was being broken down by the reversed stasis chamber, the Primordial claimed that the Flood and the Precursors are synonymous, though despite the Didact's queries, it did not disclose the precise nature of their relationship. The Primordial provided further clarification on the subject of the Mantle, the purpose of the Flood, and the role of the humans in its ancient plan: the Forerunners were never meant to inherit the Mantle, and that humanity would succeed them in order to be tested for inheriting the Mantle.<ref name="prim362"/> | After reclaiming Installation 07, the Didact imprisoned the Primordial within a reverse-stasis chamber, and alongside the wounded [[Chakas]], interrogated the entity.

It also implied that there is no true cure for the Flood, but that it could choose whether or not a victim was infected. Once this conversation was complete, the Didact, enraged about the revelation, fully activated the reverse stasis chamber, forcing an artificial decay process equivalent to a billion years to transpire over the course of several seconds, killing the Primordial, and breaking its body down to a state of complete physical entropy.<ref> '''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 364-367''</ref> | It also implied that there is no true cure for the Flood, but that it could choose whether or not a victim was infected.
