-'''Cairo Suite''' is a suite of songs included in the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]. It includes Cold Blue Light, Waking Spartan, Jeweled Hull, and Chill Exposure. Parts of it are played during the level "Cairo Station" and "The Armory."
+'''Cairo Suite''' is the second track on ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack#Volume 2|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]'', and plays mainly in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''. It is composed of ''Cold Blue Light'' (0:00-1:54), ''Waking Spartan'' (1:54-5:30), ''Jeweled Hull'' (5:30-7:33), and ''Chill Exposure'' (7:33-9:42).
+==Overview==
+===Cold Blue Light===
+''Cold Blue Light'' (1:54) is an arrangement of the fourth section from ''[[Opening Suite]]'' of the ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''. The piece briefly plays near the end of the cinematic during the level ''[[The Heretic]]'' and again near the end of the opening cinematic during the level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]''. It also plays briefly in the opening in the [[Epilogue (Halo: Reach level)|Epilogue]]/[[Halo: Reach credits|credits]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. A short reprise plays in ''Penance'' (from the later track ''[[Delta Halo Suite]]''). The piece was arranged into ''[[Only a Star, Only the Sea]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]'' and into ''[[Cairo Suite 1]]'' in ''[[Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack]]''.
+===Waking Spartan===
+''Waking Spartan'' (3:36) features military-style snare drums, and incorporates string variations from ''[[The Last Spartan]]''. It plays during the opening cinematic of the level ''Cairo Station''.
+===Jeweled Hull===
+''Jeweled Hull'' (2:03) takes on a mystic, reverent tune, with echoing digital noises sounding in every few seconds. A variation plays in the level ''Cairo Station'', after ''[[Malta Station]]'' explodes. The piece was arranged into the third section of ''[[Prophet Suite]]'' in ''Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack''.
