Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.
Well, the jump may not have been blind.
P.335
Under the Cole Protocal, they would be jumping away from Earth...but it would not be a totally random heading.
Before they jumped Cortana was reviewing the Spartan Mission logs and the rock found on Sigma Octanus IV. She found some symbols that were coordinates and accounted for thousands of years of stellar drift. Then she saw that it complied with the Cole Protocal. A few seconds later they jumped.
For refreshment review pages 335 and 336.
Oh, and Cortana never called the ring Halo until they knew of it, or at least, not in the books.
