The Didact, after being forced to retreat, left Requiem aboard his personal flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]''. He headed for [[Installation 03]], where he successfully took control of the Composer and digitized everyone on ''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' aside from the Master Chief, who had been genetically augmented by the Librarian. The Didact then set course for Earth, intending to prevent humans from again threatening Forerunner dominance. However, the Master Chief boarded his ship with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|HAVOK nuclear warhead]], intending to destroy the ship from the inside. The Promethean general confronted him, but Cortana was able to hack into the system and use [[hard light]] strands to bind the Didact into a [[light bridge]] and immobilize him. The Chief then planted a grenade on the Didact, blowing him off the bridge and sending him falling into a slipspace rupture beneath the Composer. With little time left, the Chief detonated the fusion bomb and destroyed the ship, though Cortana, using the last of her power, was able to save him from the blast.<ref name="h4"/> | The Didact, after being forced to retreat, left Requiem aboard his personal flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]''.
