The final track listing in the Halo 2: Vol. 2 soundtrack is called "Subsume". It's the creepy music that plays during the ending scene in Halo 2 where Gravemind talks to Cortana. According to my handy-dandy dictionary, to "subsume" means to contain or include something, to "incorporate in a more comprehensive category or under a general principle". Perhaps this is what Gravemind did to Cortana? Since he himself is a combination of all the sentient beings the Flood has absorbed, perhaps he is "subsuming" her into a larger category of intelligences? If this is true, then it means that they are more than allies -- Cortana is now a part of Gravemind, she's been "incorporated" into him.
Creepy.
