Me: In a way, it accidentally discovered it when it was escaping the Fall of Reach. It was there that we discovered what the Covenant was really after and what their Great Journey really was. It was also on the first Halo that we discovered the only thing the Covenant truly feared. An enemy that consumes all simply known as the Flood. A nightmarish parasitic organism that spreads by absorbing entire civilizations. Something I hope you never have to face. With a second front opened up, and the separation of the Elites from the Covenant, we were able to clutch victory from the ashes of defeat.
