Sometime after the firing of the rings, Bornstellar was possibly present on Zeta Halo with the [[Grand Edict]] and [[Despondent Pyre]] discussing the imprisonment of the [[Xalanyn]]. {{Ref/Quest|Id=Conservatory|HI|Connections|Conservatory}} | Sometime after the firing of the rings, Bornstellar was possibly present on Zeta Halo with the [[Grand Edict]] and [[Despondent Pyre]] discussing the imprisonment of the [[Xalanyn]].{{Ref/Quest|Id=Conservatory|HI|Connections|Conservatory}}{{Ref/Note|While it has yet to be confirmed directly if the IsoDidact was present for this event, voices of Forerunners can be heard in the mission [[Conservatory]] discussing the fate of the Xalanyn. One of these voices is that of [[Wikipedia:Keith Szarabajka|Keith Szarabajka]], the voice of the [[Ur-Didact]]. Given that the IsoDidact carries the imprint of the Ur-Didact (and the Ur-Didact's concurrent imprisonment on Requiem), it is likely that Keith Szarabajka's voice is intended to be the IsoDidact.}} | ||

*Bornstellar is the main protagonist of the [[Greg Bear]] novel ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'', the first of three novels in ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'', transforming into the IsoDidact over the course of the novel. He is not referred to as the IsoDidact or Bornstellar Didact until ''[[Halo: Silentium]]''; in the preceding novels, he is only addressed either as the Didact or Bornstellar. | *Bornstellar is the main protagonist of the [[Greg Bear]] novel ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'', the first of three novels in ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'', transforming into the IsoDidact over the course of the novel.

*The Greek prefix "''[[Wiktionary:iso-|iso-]]''" means "equal"; for example, isotopes are variants of an element that have the same number of protons and electrons but vary in their neutron counts. The IsoDidact's title alludes to the Didact's simultaneous existence in two separate bodies: both incarnations share the Didact's essence, yet they eventually diverge into drastically different individuals. | *The Greek prefix "''[[Wiktionary:iso-|iso-]]''" means "equal"; for example, isotopes are variants of an element that have the same number of protons and electrons but vary in their neutron counts.
