Captain Maxson's diary

Captain Maxson's diary is a series of holodisk notes written by Roger Maxson, the founder of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Fallout
It can be downloaded from the vats control computer on level 4 of the Mariposa Military Base. The player character cannot actually acquire the holodisk item as the contents are entered into the Pip-Boy 2000 directly.

Fallout 3
Found on the archive terminal at the Citadel.

Versions
The PIPBOY.MSG file contains two versions of this holodisk: Captain Maxson's diary, which is the one used in the actual game, and the Military Base disk. The differences are:


 * "with all the chaos it brings" instead of "with all the chaos that entails"
 * "He said his orders came from the government" instead of "He said his orders came from the Gov't."
 * "Jefferson Davis, eat your heart out" instead of "They remember Jefferson Davis. What will history say about me?"
 * "A-bombs" instead of "A-Bombs"
 * "oversight" and "seceded" instead of "oversite" and "seceeded"

Note that the typos corrected in the version that was not used in the game suggest that the one used in Fallout is in fact an older version that was mistakenly used instead of the newer ones.

Behind the scenes
The phrasing "I can't believe those bastards finally did it. Damn them all to Hell." is a reference to the ending of Planet of the Apes.
