As the [[Battle of Installation 00]] began, Truth moved to initiate the [[Great Journey]] by firing the [[Halo Array]] while the Covenant attempted to destroy attacking [[human]] and Sangheili forces.

Cethegus regrouped with the [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s of his pack, where he exchanged communications with Truth. Meanwhile, the Spartan killed the Stalkers and moved towards Cethegus' position.
