After surviving the assault on the Capital, Bornstellar arrived on the [[greater Ark]], where he met with the [[Librarian]], who revealed that Didact had been executed at the hands of the [[Faber|Master Builder]]. As the Didact's expertise was necessary to combat the increasing threat of the Flood, the Promethean's personality completely overtook Bornstellar's physical body, making him a reincarnation of the Didact; he stated that he would return control to Bornstellar when his mission was finished.<ref name="C337">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 337''</ref>

Intent on finding Chakas and Riser, as well as stopping Mendicant Bias, the IsoDidact tracked down [[Installation 07]], the rogue Halo under the command of Mendicant Bias and the [[Primordial]], the entity previously imprisoned on [[Charum Hakkor]] which had since been released and was responsible for subverting Mendicant Bias. His fleet [[Battle for Gyre 11|intercepted the Halo ring]], on a pre-determined collision course with [[Wolf-faced planet|a planet]] in a distant system. He deactivated Mendicant Bias using his control codes and proceeded to save the Halo and its research data on the Flood.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 336-339''</ref> Arriving in the Halo's [[Cartographer]], one of the facilities employed as control stations for the ring, the IsoDidact found Chakas and many more humans who had been connected to the ring's control interface by Mendicant Bias in an attempt to steer the installation. The IsoDidact joined Chakas in the controls and the two successfully directed the Halo's passage over the planet.<ref name="p348">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 348''</ref>

At the IsoDidact's order, the damaged Halo was reduced, shedding most of its damaged sections and contracting to a diameter of 10,000 kilometers before being transported to the greater Ark. The Flood presence was contained and both Mendicant Bias and the Primordial were placed in captivity. Chakas had been mortally wounded during the events on Installation 07, and although his physical body could not be saved, the IsoDidact decided to preserve his consciousness in the form of a [[monitor]] who would be tasked with watching over the Librarian's human specimens at the Ark. While the conversion process was still underway, the IsoDidact took Chakas with him as he interrogated the Primordial, imprisoned deep beneath Installation 07. Over the course of the exchange, the entity revealed the true nature of the relationship between the Precursors, the Flood as well as the Forerunners and humans, stating that the Forerunners were never meant to inherit the Mantle and that there was no cure for the Flood. Furious, the IsoDidact then executed the creature by fully activating its slipspace stasis chamber, forcing it to live through a billion years in complete sensory isolation and causing it to decay to a state of total physical entropy.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 362-367''</ref> The IsoDidact and the Librarian later left orders with the ancillas of Installation 07 to turn Mendicant Bias' old core into [[the Monument]], a safe home for the countless damaged essences, imprints and submonitors and custodians left over from the battle.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL15}}
