: IT'S A GAME! Uhm... sorry. It's a game, the music isn't on the ships, it's in
: YOUR speakers. It sets a mood, it's cool.

So is that the player's mood, Durandal's mood, the Pfhor's mood... Which tunes are Jealousy, Anger, and Melancholia? Even if speakers aren't blaring music throughout the Marathon, it would be good to consider how specific musics of specific levels reflect the story.

: This is like asking why the Imperial March was always blaring trough the
: Death Star's speakers.

I think Seropian* mentioned, in regards to the change to the ambient sounds of M2, that music blaring throughout the Marathon was not particularly realistic. I've taken that to mean that there was, in fact, music blaring throughout the Marathon, however unlikely it might be.

Of course, I could assume he's just talking about immersion... but where's the fun in that?

*Was it Seropian or someone else? I'm not quite sure who it was that said this.

: Maybe the music wasn't on any speakers. Maybe the 10th Military Mjolnir had
: an iPod and the music is on his headphones, and that's why you hear the
: music everywhere.

Apparently his iPod died in those 17 years he was a popsicle.
