“Your journey begins in 2014”
Guys what was the premise for the covenant firing the ring throughout the entire halo 1-3 trilogy? They wanted to go on The Great JOURNEY. But they thought that firing the ring brought about the great journey. That wasn’t the case. The forerunners fired the ring then left to go on the great journey departing and never to be seen again (This was either in the books or possibly the sentinels in halo 3 that all this was discussed). That’s where this is going. That’s where it has always been going. The reclaimer trilogy is what this is called. Humanity lost its inheritance during the first war with the forerunners. We are reclaiming it. The didactic often quiestioned(in the books at least) whether the forerunners we’re fit to holds the mantle, that is the mantle of responsibility. And it makes sense that this would be the beginning of the second war with the forerunners.
