Rescued or Not is the sixteenth track in Halo Wars: Original Soundtrack.

Overview[edit]

The track opens with synth ambiance before low strings and percussion enter with a suspenseful melody, soon joined by accompaniments from male vocals and piano. Percussion slowly builds up, leading into a grave melody by brass, strings, and vocals. They pause briefly at the climax before ending with a short cue by high strings.

Appearances[edit]

The track plays in "Judgement Day", the opening cutscene of the thirteenth Halo Wars campaign level Beachhead, when Ripa 'Moramee uses Ellen Anders to activate the Forerunner Sojourner-class dreadnoughts, and ending at the moment when Anders escapes from Apex Site.

Production notes[edit]

The name Rescued or Not is derived from John Forge's dialogue upon meeting Anders, "Lady, I haven't got all day. You wanna be rescued or not?"
