This piece is the played after the [[Master Chief]] watches the video feed from [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]]' helmet. The piece is a tense, moody ambient song by string orchestra. The piece opens with a dark, powerful drumbeat, followed by an apprehensive minor chord. Every [[List_of_%22Seven%22_References_in_Halo|seven]] seconds, the drum sounds again, punctuating a change in the chord. The song becomes increasingly disjointed towards the end, featuring the scrambled high notes typical of the [[Flood]], and slowly fades out, leaving a dark air to the scene.

==Overview==
==Nomenclature==
The piece is a tense, moody ambiance piece by string orchestra. The piece opens with a dark, powerful drumbeat, followed by an apprehensive minor chord. Every [[seven]] seconds, the drum sounds again, punctuating a change in the chord. The ambiance becomes increasingly disjointed towards the end, featuring the scrambled high notes typical of the [[Flood]], and slowly fades out, leaving a dark air to the scene. The piece is arranged into ''[[A Private Service]]'' in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack]]''.
The name is clearly derived from the Chief witnessing the [[Flood|horrible fates]] of Jenkins, [[Bisenti]], [[Mendoza]] and the rest of [[Johnson]]'s squad.
