| I think the Great Journey means death by activating Halo, not surviving it.
In that case, Regret told the truth in that part. At the end of Gravemind,
the Prophet (I forget that one's name) probably decided that the Covenant
had sinned to much to deserve the Great Journey, so he would be trying to
stop the activation of the rings, but Tartarus, greedy for the Great
Journey, betrayed them and activated it anyway. I don't think the Prophets
are the Forerunner; I think they evolved after the Forerunner wiped
themselves out, like everything else in the galaxy must have. I doubt you'd
be safe on Halo, because then no one would want to be the activators,
because from the Covenant point of view they WANT the rings to kill them, at
least if my first theory is right.
