Due to the loss of contact with the science team on Gamma Halo, Fleet Admiral [[Terrence Hood]] sent [[Blue Team]], consisting of [[Frederic-104]], John-117, [[Kelly-087]], and [[Linda-058]], to investigate.{{Ref/Reuse|HE8}} Upon their arrival at Installation 03, Blue Team found the corpses of the scientists as well as Team Black. They soon discovered the [[Composer's Abyss]] and a portal leading to the [[Composer's Forge]], an installation housing six new Composers.{{Ref/Reuse|HE8}} There they encountered the Didact and his new batch of Promethean constructs. During the ensuing firefight, Static Carillon transported Installation 03 above the Composer's Forge per the Didact's request. The Didact acquired one of the Composers in the Forge and departed for Gamma Halo with the plan to use the ring to wipe out humanity. However, the monitor decided to help the Spartans defeat the Didact due to his abhorrence of the Promethean machines.{{Ref/Reuse|HE9}}

After surviving another clash with the Didact on Installation 03, John-117 confronted the Didact in the [[Control Room (Installation 03)|control room]] while the rest of his team returned to their [[Longsword]] fighter. The Master Chief used the [[Activation Index]] to disable the Halo's safety protocols, allowing Static Carillon to eject the entire plate section housing the control room. The segment fell on the Composer's Forge, presumably destroying the Composers housed there. The resulting explosion reduced the Didact to ashes.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE10|HE|Detail=''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue 10]]''}}

Static Carillon teleported John-117 out of the control center just in time and bade farewell to the Spartans before taking Gamma Halo to an undisclosed location. Blue Team returned to Earth, where the Master Chief was debriefed by Fleet Admiral Hood. While Lord Hood believed the Didact was dead, the Master Chief cautioned that it was best to consider him "contained". Afterward, John and Blue Team departed to carry out missions on their own in spite of Lord Hood's suggestion that the Master Chief should stand down.{{Ref/Reuse|HE10}}

Although the Didact's mutations provided him with some resistance to the Composer's effects, they could not withstand the raw destructive force of neural physics from five Composers exploding all at once, resulting in the destruction of the Didact's physical form and his death. The Didact's digitized consciousness was subsequently uploaded to the outer boundaries of the [[Domain]]{{Ref/Novel|Id=Epi5|Epi|15}} with his corruption from the [[Gravemind]] being burned away as well in the process, restoring the Didact's sanity.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Epi20|Epi|20}}
