''Halo Reborn'' (2:46) begins with mournful vocals accompanied by some minor electronic sounds. The vocals sing the melody of ''[[Under Cover of Night]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''). The first section plays in the opening cutscene as [[John-117]], [[Cortana]], and [[Thel 'Vadam]] travel to [[Installation 08]], and continues into the opening gameplay sequence in the snowy canyon. It also plays in ''[[Halo: Last One Standing]]'' when [[S. Hartley]] acquires John-117's signal. The piece made a short reprise in in the track ''Reborn Relic'' in ''[[Finale (Halo 3: ODST)|Finale]]'' (from ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]''). In the second section, strings take over and build tension as vocals join in the background. The digital notes from the track ''[[Infiltrate]]'' return in a reprise, but accompanied with a much more prominent percussion accompaniment. The piece fades out quickly. This section plays when [[Flood]] [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] arrive on the installation in [[Flood dispersal pod]]s.

In the second section, strings take over and build tension as vocals join in the background. The digital notes from the earlier track ''[[Infiltrate]]'' return in a reprise, but accompanied with a much more prominent percussion accompaniment. The piece fades out quickly. This section plays when [[Flood]] [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] arrive on the installation in [[Flood dispersal pod]]s.  


===Guilt and Punishment===
''Guilt and Punishment'' (1:13) takes over with an eerie ambiance and digital chimes before being joined by the intense, electrically-generated siren-like sounds from the track ''[[Shadows (music)|Shadows]]'' (from ''Halo: Original Soundtrack''). The piece ends abruptly on a jarring violin chord. The ambiance plays when John-117, 'Vadam, and [[Avery Johnson]] enter the [[control room]], and continues into the cutscene in which [[343 Guilty Spark]] attacks the trio. The following siren-like sounds play during the gameplay sequence in which John-117 battles 343 Guilty Spark, with the jarring chord playing when John-117 lands the killing blow on Spark.
