'''No Stone Unturned''' is the twelfth track included in ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays in the ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' campaign level ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''. It is composed of ''Cast Aside'' (0:00-1:33), ''Nox Aeterna'' (1:33-2:39), and ''Marching On'' (2:39-3:21).

''Cast Aside'' (1:33) is the full version of ''Yet Alone'' (from the earlier track ''[[Overture (Halo 3: ODST)|Overture]]''), which was first played in the opening scroll of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. It opens with a tranquil and flowing melody by the piano, soon joined by strings. The strings play a soft flowing melody before being woodwinds enter as an accompaniment. Strings then repeat the strings melody. The piece plays in the campaign level during the cutscene following ''[[NMPD HQ]]'' and continues into the gameplay sequence afterwards.

 

''Nox Aeterna'' (1:06) is a shortened version of ''We All Got Secrets'' (from the later track ''[[Data Hive (music)|Data Hive]]''). It features synth effects and digital chimes, accompanied by a muted synth melody. The piece plays randomly when roaming in ''Mombasa Streets''.

 

''Marching On'' (0:42) cuts in with percussion. The percussive beats maintain a high tempo until the end. The piece plays randomly when roaming in ''Mombasa Streets''.

 

* The name of the track ''No Stone Unturned'' alludes to the idiom "to leave no stone unturned", which could be used to describe the [[Rookie]] searching a large portion of the [[New Mombasa city center]] for the other squad members of [[Alpha-Nine]].

* ''Nox Aeterna'' is Latin for "night eternal", which alludes to the nighttime setting of ''Mombasa Streets''.
