As the ''Infinity'' and her fleet continued to approach Requiem, the ship's control systems were swiftly hacked by the Didact as Requiem opened again one of its portals and pulled the ''Infinity'' into the shield world, causing violent explosions inside the supercarrier as her approach went chaos with her parked vehicles crashing one another.{{Ref/Reuse|The Commissioning}} John escaped Requiem's core just as ''Infinity'' entered Requiem's outer shell.{{Ref/Level|Id=Forerunner|Game=Halo 4|Level=[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]}} | As the ''Infinity'' and her fleet continued to approach Requiem, the ship's control systems were swiftly hacked by the Didact as Requiem opened again one of its portals and pulled the ''Infinity'' into the shield world, causing violent explosions inside the supercarrier as her approach went chaos with her parked vehicles crashing one another.{{Ref/Reuse|The Commissioning}} John escaped Requiem's core just as ''Infinity'' entered Requiem's outer shell.{{Ref/Level|Id=Forerunner|Game=Halo 4|Level=[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]}} | ||

Following the destruction of the gravity well generator, the Master Chief and Cortana began to push for Captain Del Rio and ''Infinity'' to assault the Didact's Cryptum and destroy it to keep the Didact from leaving Requiem. However, Del Rio refused to believe the two, calling their encounter with the Librarian "the hallucinations of an aging Spartan and his malfunctioning AI." This was furthered when Cortana's [[rampancy]] caused her to have an angry outburst. While Del Rio ordered Commander Lasky to remove Cortana's data chip to be destroyed, the Master Chief took it instead, telling Del Rio that if he wouldn't stop the Didact, the Master Chief would do it himself. The Master Chief refused Del Rio's orders to stand down and ordered Lasky to warn Earth of the coming threat from the Didact. Lasky was then ordered to prevent the Master Chief's departure by any means necessary but recognized that it was too dangerous to risk the Chief being wrong about the Didact. Instead, Lasky had a [[G79H-TC Pelican|Pelican gunship]] prepared for full combat pursuit of the Master Chief but instead gave the dropship to the Spartan.{{Ref/Level|Id=Shutdown|H4|[[Shutdown]]}} | Following the destruction of the gravity well generator, the Master Chief and Cortana began to push for Captain Del Rio and ''Infinity'' to assault the Didact's Cryptum and destroy it to keep the Didact from leaving Requiem.

The Master Chief departed ''Infinity'' in the Pelican as ''Infinity'' and her crew made their escape from Requiem. Without ''Infinity's'' firepower to back them up, Cortana suggests instead disrupting the communications at two of the towers near the Didact's Cryptum which would allow her to forge an override code and lower the Didact's shields so they could reach him. Using the Pelican's cannons, the Master Chief was able to destroy the [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] dropships guarding each tower and make his way within. Inside each tower, the Master Chief fought his way through 'Mdama's determined Covenant and Promethean defenders and used an EMP in one tower to destroy a carrier wave generator and destroyed the attenuators in another tower, giving Cortana the opportunity to lower the Didact's shields. All through this, the Didact telepathically taunted the Master Chief about the futility of his actions.{{Ref/Reuse|Shutdown}} | The Master Chief departed ''Infinity'' in the Pelican as ''Infinity'' and her crew made their escape from Requiem.
