During the final years of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], after being returned to the [[ecumene]] from his captivity at the clutches of the [[Gravemind]], the Ur-Didact used the ''Mantle's Approach'' when he traveled to [[Nomdagro]] and later when he followed the [[Librarian]]'s ship, ''[[Audacity]]'', to the [[greater Ark]]. Once there, he remained aboard the the ''Mantle's Approach'' in orbit over the Ark, where he was briefly visited by the Librarian. When the Ark fell [[Battle of the greater Ark|under siege]] by [[Flood]] forces, the Didact moved the ship to the nearby [[Omega Halo]] and used a [[Composer]], a device designed to transfer organic consciousness to software, integrated to the ship to harvest the essences of the [[human]] population transplanted on the ring. He then spontaneously departed aboard the ''Mantle's Approach'', headed for [[Requiem]], his primary [[shield world]]. He docked the ship inside Requiem and began to process the harvested human essences into new [[Promethean Knight]]s.<ref name="silentium">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 34''</ref> | During the final years of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], after being returned to the [[ecumene]] from his captivity at the clutches of the [[Gravemind]], the Ur-Didact used the ''Mantle's Approach'' when he traveled to [[Nomdagro]] and later when he followed the [[Librarian]]'s ship, ''[[Audacity]]'', to the [[greater Ark]].

With the admission of the Didact's lieutenant, [[Endurance-of-Will]], the Librarian entered the ''Mantle's Approach'' and confronted the Didact in the command center.
