This track does not appear in-game, but is rather a mixture of various songs found on other Halo soundtrack albums. Excerpts from [[A Walk in the Woods]] ([[Halo Original Soundtrack|Halo Soundtrack]]) can be found. While elements from [[Prologue]] and [[Delta Halo Suite]] ([[Halo 2 Original Soundtrack|Halo 2 Soundtrack]]) are also present. In addition, [[Farthest Outpost]] and [[Behold a Pale Horse]] ([[Halo 3 Original Soundtrack|Halo 3 Soundtrack]]) also make an appearance.
This track appears in-game in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' campaign level ''[[The Package]]'', but only within the [[Tribute Room]], playing alongside the ''[[Siege of Madrigal]]''. A small section from its opening, however, is played in the mid-level cutscene of the campaign level. Its tribal percussion plays as [[NOBLE Team]] look at the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf|Babd Catha]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|Forerunner vessel]].

The namesake of the piece is a reference to the unique mixture of tracks that are taken from other soundtrack albums; thus, "from the vault."
