The final scene of Halo Infinite's campaign sees the Harbinger, one of the main bosses of the story, succeed in her mission to bring the Xalanyn back from imprisonment as she draws her final breath and speaks to someone elsewhere on Zeta Halo.

Additionally, the audio logs further imply that the Xalanyn were left uncataloged on purpose, but the Forerunners did not expect them to survive the Great Purification. While Despondent Pyre, the monitor of Zeta Halo, was originally unaware of the Xalanyn's existence, the Banished audio logs imply that the Forerunners were aware of their presence.
