''Old Friend'' (1:07) opens with a reprise of the crisp and rhythmic percussion from ''Block by Block'' (from ''[[Neon Night]]''), accompanied by soft low strings. As the percussion gets louder, high strings join in, followed by piano, and together they play a swinging variation of the five-note E Dorian fanfare from ''[[Finish the Fight]]'' (from ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''). The piece plays in the epilogue of ''Halo 3: ODST''.

''[[Prepare To Drop (music)|Prepare to Drop]]'' (1:17) opens with high strings holding a single note, quickly joined by saxophone three-note cue from ''Rain''. Strings and a flute repeat the cue, and they are joined by piano and tribal drums as they play the trembling melody from ''Strong Silent Type''. The saxophone repeats the cue again, leading into a soft and hopeful melody by high strings. The melody is then repeated by piano, low strings, and percussion before all instruments enter a climatic finish. The piece plays in the ''[[Keep It Clean (trailer)|Keep It Clean]]'' trailer.
