Cold Blue Light

The piece was rearranged into Only a Star, Only the Sea in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack and into Cairo Suite 1 in Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack.

Waking Spartan

Jeweled Hull
Jeweled Hull (2:03) takes on a mystic, reverent tune, with echoing digital noises sounding in every few seconds. A variation plays in the level Cairo Station, after Malta Station explodes. The piece was rearranged into the third section of Prophet Suite in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.

Chill Exposure
Chill Exposure (2:09) features digital chimes, building to more digital noises and fragments of soft choirs. It concludes with a soft gong. It plays in the level Cairo Station, during the chapter "Authorized Personnel Only". The piece was rearranged into the first section of Prophet Suite in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
