 Following the battle, UNSC and Sangheili military leaders held a meeting aboard the Sangheili flagship ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. 343 Guilty Spark managed to repair the Covenant storage device, where it was revealed that what was initially thought to be Cortana turned out to be a message from the AI. The message warned the UNSC and Sangheili that the Gravemind itself was coming to infest Earth aboard the former Covenant holy city ''[[High Charity]]''. The recording also informed them that beyond the Portal was a [[Installation 08|means]] of stopping the Flood without firing the Halo Array. The Sangheili opted to go through the Portal after Truth, but Admrial Hood wanted to stay to defend Earth, despite the Sangheili's insistence that Earth could not survive a full-scale Flood invasion. The Master Chief and Commander Keyes, however, managed to convince Hood to allow the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} to accompany the Fleet of Retribution through the portal to both stop Truth and find Cortana's solution to the Flood. The Admiral acquiesced and the joint UNSC/Sangheili task force departed for Installation 00 through the portal while Admiral Hood remained behind to coordinate Earth's remaining defenses.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}}
-Although the Battle of Voi resulted in the retreat of the Covenant from Africa, remaining Covenant forces had fortified themselves across the southwestern [[URNA]]. The Prophet of Truth and his fleet's departure through the Portal sent the Covenant [[battlenet]] into disarray, allowing UNSC forces to enact [[URNA Southwest Campaign|a major counteroffensive]] in Arizona, which set the stage for eliminating the Covenant presence on Earth once and for all during [[Operation: MARSH FLASH]] in early December.<ref name="loot2">''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]'', [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]</ref>
