Blue SCP. Those marines... away from “home”.. entire colonies wiped out... Reach, glassed and wiped out... They escape and crashland on an unknown ring planet.. they set up base and fight a seemingly unstoppable alien force in the snow.. both of them out numbered, they retreat into one of the compounds, removed from their unit.

Fun fact: This theme returns as the base for the percussion portion of In Amber Clad in Halo 2, if you search for "in amber clad percussion" you'll notice how familiar both themes sound (The Lost Muse has a slower tempo so it won't sound identical at first, if you run both themes in Audacity, delete the silence at the beginning and increase the tempo of Lost Muse by 2 then the whole beginning part fits)

[@that_one_helljumper]

It fits the atmosphere of that part of assault on the control room perfectly. Makes you feel like you’re surrounded, alone at the same time, and that everything around you is foreign and you don’t quite belong to be there.

What are you talking about? Hunters in the first game are the weakest out of all the games. They die from one shot with the pistol.
