In the middle of the tribunal against the Master Builder, Mendicant Bias unexpectedly returned with Installation 07 to the Forerunner [[Capital]]. Using the authority granted to it in the event of an emergency, Mendicant Bias entered the Capital's systems, disabled all [[ancilla]]s and security constructs, and held the Ecumene Council hostage by overriding their [[Forerunner personal armor|armor]], rendering them immobile. It also gained control over the armor of [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]] and confronted him, as he was host to the memories and knowledge of the Didact. Through Bornstellar, the Didact's imprinted consciousness issued a verbal failsafe code, temporarily shutting Mendicant Bias down and allowing the Forerunners to respond to the attack.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''pages 300-303''</ref> | In the middle of the tribunal against the Master Builder, Mendicant Bias unexpectedly returned with Installation 07 to the Forerunner [[Capital]].

Although Mendicant Bias remained neutralized for several years, the Forerunners' attempt to stop the AI was unsuccessful in the long run. The facilities its parts were distributed to were taken over by the Flood and Mendicant Bias was recovered, reassembled, and reactivated by a Gravemind, allowing the AI to return in command of the Flood's fleets.{{Ref/Reuse|string33}} | Although Mendicant Bias remained neutralized for several years, the Forerunners' attempt to stop the AI was unsuccessful in the long run.
