Alien captive recorded log

Alien Captive Recordings are items added to Fallout 3 in the add-on Mothership Zeta.

There are a total of 25 recordings. Although they are usually not physical objects, the recordings will appear as holotapes when spawned via console commands and are stored in the Notes section of the Pip-Boy. Collecting all of them will grant the Alien Archivist achievement.

You will need to collect all the recordings while playing through the DLC's storyline, upon completion of the DLC you are only able to access The Bridge and the Engineering Core. All other areas are inaccessible. You can go back up until the death ray so make sure you have all the ones up to that part. But #19 is only accessible until the space walk.

Without backtracking, the order is roughly 1. Holding Cells 2. Engineering Core 3a. Waste Disposal (?) 3b. Cryo Lab and Cryo Storage 3c. Research Lab (via Cargo Hold) 4. Experimentation Lab 5. Weapons Lab 6. Biological Research 7. Living Quarters

Please note that the Alien Captive Recordings chart is in order by log number.

Transcripts
This is the text from the recording played during the official trailer for Mothership Zeta:

Alien Captive Recorded Log 5
Paulson's recording.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 6
Elliot Tercorien's recording.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 7
Toshiro Kago's recording.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 8
The late Colonel Hartigan's recording.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 12
Possibly Sally's first recording.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 14
(Possibly sally's parents' recording) But most likely not, as parents would surely say something about their two daughters being taken away from them in a stressful situation, as opposed to focusing solely on themselves.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 17
This recording is bugged. The human voice is completely silent. The only sound is that of the Alien babbling.


 * This could be intentional, however. Most of this human's dialogue seems to be of "top-secret" material, and the fact that it's silent could be inferring that these recording devices can also record thoughts. This is especially hinted at towards the end of the holotape when the human tries to block his thoughts.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 19
Parts of this recording were used in the official trailer.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 21
Sally's (possibly second) recording.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 22
Somah's interrogation.

Alien Captive Recorded Log 24
This log is evidently a recording of a Cow or Brahmin.

Trivia
Log 25 probably references two episodes of The Twilight Zone - the famous "To Serve Man" (in which the alien text by that title turns out to be a cookbook) and the somewhat lesser known "People Are Alike All Over" (in which a human astronaut is captive at a Martian zoo).
