Catalog collected testimony from the Ur-Didact after his recovery from the [[Burn]], being forced to compel the Didact to recall his encounter with the Gravemind after he refused to continue his testimony due to his reluctance to relive the horror he suffered at the clutches of the Flood. Catalog was also assigned to the Ur-Didact on [[Nomdagro]] in anticipation for his meeting with the IsoDidact and the Librarian; this unit formed a triad with two other Catalog assigned to Bornstellar and the Lifeshaper when they arrived. Catalog also attended the gathering of the Forerunner leadership on the [[greater Ark]], and was likewise present in [[Omega Halo]]'s [[control room]] when the ring was fired. This unit was saved from the collapsing control center, along with the IsoDidact, by [[343 Guilty Spark|Monitor Chakas]] aboard his [[Gargantua-class transport]]. It was slightly damaged but ultimately survived and made it to [[Installation 00]].<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 306''</ref>
