A year later, in 2553, a [[Hillside Memorial|monument was erected on a hillside]] near the Portal to the Ark to commemorate the billions of men and women killed during the war, and [[John-117|Spartan-117]] was presumed dead by the UNSC. However, John and Cortana weren't dead. They had survived the firing of [[Halo]] as the aft section of the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'']] entered the portal. However, the portal had collapsed whilst still traveling through it and the aft section was sent to an unknown location far away. | A year later, in 2553, a [[Hillside Memorial|monument was erected on a hillside]] near the Portal to the Ark to commemorate the billions of men and women killed during the war, and [[John-117|Spartan-117]] was presumed dead by the UNSC.

However, the memorial may be to only commemorate the losses during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], because of several things. One is that a Pelican wing wouldn't be nearly enough to commemorate billions who died against something that tried to eradicate an entire species, and along with that when Hood says "those who journeyed into the howling dark... and did not return" possibly being a reference to those who went through the [[Portal]] and never came back.<ref>[[Hillside Memorial]]</ref> | |||
