The currently living [[The_Arbiter_%28character%29|Arbiter]], who is either leading or an important member of the separatist movement, knows the true function of the Halos after speaking with [[343 Guilty Spark]], a [[Monitor]] of the lost [[Installation 04]] who is considered by the leading Covenant caste as one of the holy oracles. Following this conversation he, with the help of some [[UNSC]] troops, attempted to stop [[Tartarus]] from activating [[Installation 05]], and hence the entire remaining Halo network, but failed. In the final cutscene(s) of [[Halo 2]] the network is described to be in a standby status, pending activation from [[The Ark]]. The Loyalists were eventually defeated, and the idea of a Great Journey lost. | The currently living [[The_Arbiter_%28character%29|Arbiter]], who is either leading or an important member of the separatist movement, knows the true function of the Halos after speaking with [[343 Guilty Spark]], a [[Monitor]] of the lost [[Installation 04]] who is considered by the leading Covenant caste as one of the holy oracles.

On The Ark, during the [[Halo 3]] campaign, several [[terminals]] can be found left by the [[Forerunners]], describing the activation of the Halo arrays as the Great Journey. Through such terminals on other Forerunner installations the Covenant may have learned of the Great Journey, and used that name. | On The Ark, during the [[Halo 3]] campaign, several [[terminals]] can be found left by the [[Forerunners]], describing the activation of the Halo arrays as the Great Journey.
