-'''Farthest Outpost''' is a song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It contains the tracks ''Farthest Outpost'', ''No Time for Sightseeing'', and ''Make Them Pay''.  It plays during the beginning of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]].
+'''Farthest Outpost''' is the thirteenth track included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays during the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[The Ark]]''. It is composed of ''Farthest Outpost'' (0:00-2:03), ''No Time for Sightseeing'' (2:03-2:49), and ''Make Them Pay'' (2:49-5:14).
-The beginning of the song is based mainly on choir and strings. It is similar to the song [[In Amber Clad (music)|In Amber Clad]] from ''Halo 2''. At around 0:40, drums become the dominant instrument. Later on, the melody is taken over by strings again, playing the Arbiter's theme. After that, a section from the songs, [[Out of Shadow]] and the ''Halo 3'' version of [[Perilous Journey]], Make Them Pay will play.
+''Farthest Outpost'' (2:03) begins with the vocals singing gracefully, unaccompanied. Strings enter to echo the melody before muted percussion enter, leading into a section of bass line and percussive beats, the latter of which was played using snare drums and hi-hat. Low strings enter, playing a flowing melody as the vocals continue softly in the background. After the melody has repeated a few times, the percussion takes over while the the strings briefly plays the melody of ''Weight of Failure'' from ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]'' (in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''). The piece plays in the opening cutscene, when the [[Fleet of Retribution]] arrives at [[Installation 00]]. The section with drum and bass line plays in the menu of ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]''. The name of the piece is most likely in reference to Installation 00, which could be considered the "farthest outpost" of the [[Forerunner]]s due to its remote location from the [[Milky Way]].
-The name of the song is most likely in reference to [[installation 00|the Ark]], which could be considered the "farthest outpost" of the [[Forerunner]]s.
+''No Time for Sightseeing'' (0:46) is a short reprise of the digital notes and bass line from the track ''[[Out of Shadow]]'', though using muted percussion, thus resembling a reorchestration of the second part of ''Broken Gates'' in ''[[Mombasa Suite]]'' (from ''Halo 2: Original Soundtrack''), albeit without the male vocal. This section plays when [[John-117]] launches the attack on the the [[Type-27 Mantis]] under construction.
-The song runs for 5:14.
+''Make Them Pay'' (2:25) is a full reorchestration of ''[[Perilous Journey]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''), though the sounds of the strings sections are considerably crisper compared to the original rendition. A heavy bass drum is audible in the background playing seven beats before resting and then repeating. This section plays when John-117 commandeers the vehicles at the crashed [[D77H-TCI Pelican]].
-At the beginning of the ''Halo 3'' version of Perilous Journey, a heavy bass drum is audible in the background playing seven beats before resting and then repeating.
-The first part with the drum and bass line starting at 0:46 was a random menu song in Halo 3: Mythic.
