| ==Overview==
| | The track runs for 3:10 and contains the scores "Great Journey" and "Thermopylae Soon" which run for 1:15 and 1:55 respectively. "Great Journey" plays over the last cutscene of [[Uprising]]. "Thermopylae Soon" plays over the game's final cutscene as [[Installation 05]]'s firing sequence is aborted, [[343 Guilty Spark]] explains the shutdown protocol, and [[John-117]] arrives back at Earth. |
| ===Great Journey===
| |
| ''Great Journey'' (1:15) begins with a reprise of the opening high strings of ''Wage'' (from the earlier track ''[[Delta Halo Suite]]''), and transitions into a reprise of the opening string melody of ''[[Impend]]''. It plays over the ending cutscene of the level ''[[Uprising]]'', when [[Thel 'Vadam]] meets [[Rtas 'Vadum]], and both witness [[Tartarus]] taking [[Miranda Keyes]] to the [[control room]] of [[Installation 05]]. The piece concludes with a woodwinds-only version of ''Weight of Failure'' (from the earlier track ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]'') - this version plays during the opening cutscene of the level ''[[The Great Journey]]'', when 'Vadam and 'Vadum discuss the plan to enter the control room.

| ===Thermopylae Soon===
| | {{Halo Music}} |
| ''Thermopylae Soon'' (1:50) begins with a short reprise of the "''Halo 2'' monk theme" from ''Penance'' (from ''Delta Halo Suite''). Low strings enter, with high strings playing the opening of ''[[The Last Spartan]]''. Low vocals join in, and the low strings transition to the buildup in ''The Last Spartan'', and all skips the second section to the concluding crescendo. The piece plays over the game's final cutscene as Installation 05's firing sequence is aborted, [[343 Guilty Spark]] explains the fail-safe protocol of Installation 05 and John-117 contacts [[Terrence Hood]] while onboard the ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]''. The piece was rearranged into ''[[Finale 2]]'', though excluding the opening reprise, in ''[[Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack]]''.
