Searching the Exam Center

"Searching the Exam Center" is a theme in Metroid: Other M. In contrast with many of the orchestrated themes in the game, this one consists of a repeating set of nine, high-pitched notes, with occasional electronic "echoes" and a "ring", and it can be considered relaxing. It was composed by Kuniaki Haishima. 
It begins to play when Samus discovers a dead Cyborg Zebesian in the Exam Center, reporting it to Adam. It stops when she returns to the main observation deck (in a cutscene), but begins again when Maurice makes progress in repairing the room's computer. Here, the theme has three deeper bars that are not heard in gameplay, and add a sense of intrigue. The theme will continue playing as Samus continues exploring the Exam Center, stopping when she comes across live Cyborg Zebesians.
Later on, it plays again when Samus sees the Deleter fleeing after disabling the "Bioweapon Research Center access bridge", forcing her to self-authorize her Space Jump and Screw Attack. It continues to play in the center itself.
