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.
