[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Onomatopoeia [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog They went on a Great Journey, with only the Didact staying behind to fight the Flood and remain guardian of the mantle (and possibly the Librarian and Bornstellar-Didact.)[/quote] I always thought "The Great Journey" was what Forerunner called death. It makes sense, Truth wanted to light the rings to go on this journey, and the only thing after the Halo array firing is death. [/quote] No, "great journey" with regards to the Forerunners was literally them leaving on a journey into exile. The Covies misinterpreted the phrase as an ascension to the divine.
