''Reconciled'' (1:42) is another reorchestration of a piece from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', featuring the theme heard in the first section of the track ''[[Truth and Reconciliation Suite]]''. The piece begins with low strings and brass on a low note as the rest of the brass play an epic sounding theme. This is then joined by more strings, the violins playing arpeggios while the low strings and brass play phrases similar to what they play in the ''Halo Theme''. A more peaceful section follows, mainly played by strings with the addition of chorus; the theme is a variation on the ''[[A Walk in the Woods]]'' theme. The piece plays when UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'' arrives at the landing zone. | ''Reconciled'' (1:42) is another reorchestration of a piece from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', featuring the theme heard in the first section of the track ''[[Truth and Reconciliation Suite]]''.

This effect is synthesized to create a distant like ambiance. Heavy percussion join in, and the motif repeats. Gradually, the section becomes more minor and gloomy, yet with a faint air of hopefulness about it. The piece plays when John-117 leads the UNSC convoy to the wall in the dessert and encounters [[Type-26 Wraith]]s defending the position. The second section features vocals, strings, and a harp, playing a ethereal ambiance. It plays softly in slight variations. This pieces plays when John-117 is inside the wall, then again when he enters the spire containing the [[Cartographer]], and continues into the cutscene in which he activates the Cartographer. The heavy percussion was incorporated into the tracks ''[[Edge Closer]]'' and ''Escape'' (from ''[[Keep What You Steal]]''). It also plays during [[Firefight]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. | ||
