Since the reveal that the Didact will be in the game, i don’t think anybody has even considered Faber to be the AE.
Perhaps Faber has taken Didact prisoner? and has commandeered the Promethean army, keep in mind the actual LIVING forerunner Prometheans have not come into play yet, my guess is these are Forerunner mummies (dead Prometheans turned into AI), so it is possible that the Promethean WARRIORS (living ones) are not choosing to fight or have been wiped out completely.
Didact apparently hates humans now right? But why would that justify him trying to wipe out the entire human race, and why would sending Chief to imminent death redeem Medicant Bias? If Requiem is such a threat why does the infinity return there? Ahhh this campaign is going to be amazing, so many plot holes to fill.
I would think this would be the case (or something similar) because Greg Bear said there are “two Didacts”. lolwut? This would explain that. I still want to know how Chief ends up at Requiem around the same time the Infinity gets their distress beacon AND while the Storm are moving in on the planet at the same time. They’ve talked about this being the realization of Master Chief’s destiny, I wonder if this was all planned somehow…

The two didacts are the original didact and Bornstellar
Didact passed his memories down to Bornstellar so they are pretty much the same person.
Faber is a completely different person.
We know 100% that atleast one of the didacts is on requiem as he was exiled there for some unknown reason

I own every Halo novel in existence including Thursday War
I’m suggesting that Didact isn’t the one in control of the Prometheans, but Faber is. Didact being held prisoner by Faber and Medicant Bias has sent chief there to set him free.
That’s my theory.
Sending Chief to imminent death would be senseless, why would bias do that? How would that redeem him? And why would Didact so suddenly have a complete role change?

Maybe Bias wants Chief to kill the Didact and thinks he can do it? He watched John tear apart the entire Covenant on the Ark, I mean if anyone could do it it would be Chief.

No.
I don’t care how “Chosen” you are, no human could do what Chief is setting out to do.
The Forerunners had TIER 1 TECHNOLOGY, no way Chief would stand a bloody chance. Covenant are Petty.
And how would awakening didact be smart? why send chief to a needless fight? The only reason he wakes up is because Chief goes there, how is killing someone who isn’t even a threat justified? This may not happen i’m just assuming on given info.
Lets go kill our greatest leader and then i’ll be forgiven!
Pretty sure medicant bias wasn’t setting out to do this.
> Everything I have seen and heard seem like it is the Didact not Faber or the other guy.
But why would medicant bias send Chief to kill the greatest forerunner leader when he isn’t even a threat, he’s just sleeping. How will that redeem bias and make the forerunners forgive him?

Idk wait til the game comes out or the next book to find out.

Don’t forget the UNSC have that same tech too, now. The Infinity, for one. Plus by Halo 4 they’ve been researching Trevelyan for over four years, it’s possible they might’ve come close to catching up with the Forerunners. We know from Spartan Ops that 6 months after the game ends the Infinity is able to just meander back over to Requiem without much of a hitch, so clearly they’re able to stand a chance. Still, Chief alone versus the Didact is a bit of a stretch. Maybe Chief and Cortana crash on Requiem when the Infinity is about to show up because Bias was waiting for them to have support?
Of course I have no idea how he could know that. But I don’t think it’s out of the question that Bias could want to go head-to-head with the Didact. All the Forerunners seemed chill with humanity near the end of their civilization, so much so they gave us the keys to all their technology and preserved us instead of them! Maybe Bias is ticked about that and wants to preserve the Forerunner legacy and the Librarian’s will.
My best guess is that Ur Didact exiled himself to Requiem after being forced to fire the Halo Rings. Doing so killed his wife The Librarian as she cataloged each race so that the Flood or the rings wouldn’t destroy them and thus, causing him grief at her death.
This grief can easily be turned into getting revenge against humanity, who he already despises and has fought them in the old Forerunner-Human war. Blaming the descendents of his Ancient enemies for the death of his wife is more than enough reason to destroy humanity. Is Didact Ur the Ancient Evil? Perhaps, it’s a strong possibility.
He could hate the Storm Covenant as well, seeing how it consists of species saved from the Flood/Halo rings and since The Storm is against humanity as well, he could use use them as tools to be later discarded and destroyed. Makes sense to take advantage of their rather insane devotion to the Forerunners and hatred towards humanity IMO.
As for Chief’s destiny? Stop Didact from wiping out humanity by pumping BR rounds into anything that makes the reticule turn red :P.

I thought it was the original didact who was exiled to a flood infested world to fend for himself courtesy of Faber

Does Thursday War forerunner segment take place BEFORE or AFTER silentium?

Dude Silentium is the 3rd Book of the Forerunner Trilogy, TTW is the 2nd of the after war arc…
There is no time relation there whatsoever
