After his awakening in [[2557|July 2557]], the Didact quickly escaped in his Cryptum and, once the necessary preparations were complete, he recoupled the Cryptum with the ''Mantle's Approach'' and took off immediately. He jumped to [[Ivanoff Station]] alongside a [[Covenant remnant]] fleet, intent on reclaiming the Composer. The Didact test-fired the Composer on the station, then proceeded to [[Earth]] to settle his personal war with humanity once and for all.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]</ref> | After his awakening in [[2557|July 2557]], the Didact quickly escaped in his Cryptum and, once the necessary preparations were complete, he recoupled the Cryptum with the ''Mantle's Approach'' and took off immediately.

The Master Chief then fought his way through the ship, eventually finding the Didact controlling the Composer under an impenetrable force field. [[Cortana]] overloaded the shields by flooding the ship's mainframe with her rampant duplicates, allowing the Chief to confront and defeat the Didact with a [[Z-040 Attenuation Field Generator/Localized|pulse grenade]].<ref name="midnight">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]</ref> | ||
