As John-117 and Cortana reached the Composer, the Didact activated the device, killing thousands of people in New Phoenix, a major population center in North America. After fighting past significant opposition from the [[Prometheans]], the Master Chief was able to approach the center structure, only to be ambushed by the Didact. During the struggle, Cortana was able to manipulate the [[hard light]] bridge on which the Didact stood, trapping him. This bought the Master Chief enough time to activate a [[pulse grenade]] and attack the Didact with it. The resulting explosion pushed the Didact into the slipspace rupture below. As Master Chief activated the [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], Cortana was able to manipulate the hard light bridge and shield the Spartan from the blast. The majority of Cortana's processes remained aboard ''Mantle's Approach'', and were presumably destroyed in the nuclear blast. She maintained herself long enough to bid farewell to the Spartan inside the hard light shield. Master Chief was found by a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] floating among the debris and was returned to the ''Infinity''. | As John-117 and Cortana reached the Composer, the Didact activated the device, killing thousands of people in New Phoenix, a major population center in North America.
