*''Under Cover of Night'' and its versions have almost always appeared in relation to a Keyes. The ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' appearances appear near a mention or focus of Captain Keyes. Every post-''Combat Evolved'' appearance directly features Miranda, or invokes her (''In Amber Clad''). In ''Homecoming'', the music plays in a scene where Miranda's mother appears.
