'''''Prior to ''Halo: Epitaph'', the last major appearance of the Ur-Didact was in ''Halo: Escalation''{{'}}s "The Next 72 Hours" arc, in which John-117 defeats the Forerunner. It's evident that many fans thought that this was the the end of the Ur-Didact. Without spoiling anything, how do you think his "survival" of these events was handled in ''Halo: Epitaph''?'''''

'''TheArb1ter117''': When a being is digitized by the [[Composer]] (or several Composers, in the case of the Didact), they are not simply killed. The essences of composed beings live on in the digital world much like [[ancilla]]s, although through a much more painful process than those typically used in the creation of ancillas. As such, it is no surprise that the Didact "survived" his composition. However, I do not blame fans for thinking this was his final fate, or even that he was killed at [[Midnight|the end]] of ''[[Halo 4]]''. I think Kelly Gay did a wonderful job of retelling important moments through the Forerunner's eyes, explaining his emotions surrounding the events. She makes it clear that while the Didact may have technically "survived," he by no means the same person he was before—and that he will never be the same again.
