There are a total of 25 recordings. Although they are usually not physical objects, the recordings will appear as holotapes when spawned via [[Fallout 3 console commands|console commands]], and are stored in the Notes section of the Pip-Boy. Collecting them all will grant the [[Alien Archivist]] [[Fallout 3 achievements and trophies|achievement]]/trophy.

You will need to collect all the recordings while playing through the add-on's storyline. Steps 3, 4 and 5 (see [[The Legend of Zeta#Detailed walkthrough|detailed walkthrough]]) are not available after you space walk up to [[Bridge (Mothership Zeta)|the bridge]]. After completing the add-on you are only able to access the bridge, the [[engineering core]], the steamworks and the holding cells - all other areas are inaccessible.
 
==Walkthrough==
 
Without backtracking, the order is roughly:
 
# [[Holding cells]] (6 total).
 
#* The first three {[[#Alien captive recorded log_14|14]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_15|15]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_22|22]]} are together to the east of your initial cell on the first level. Don't follow your new friend.
 
#* The next three {[[#Alien captive recorded log_3|3]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_1|1]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_12|12]]} are again found together in the room just east of the quest map marker, and north by north-east of Sally's holding cell.
 
# [[Engineering core]] (4 total)
 
#* The locations of the four recordings on this level {[[#Alien captive recorded log_5|5]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_6|6]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_7|7]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_8|8]]} correspond to the four individual stasis controls on the pods of the samurai, astronaut, medic, and cowboy.
 
# [[Waste disposal]] (via [[maintenance level]]) As mentioned above you must get this before entering the airlock (1 total) (note that you can do step 3, 4, and 5 in any order).
 
#* The recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_19|19]]} is in the south-west portion of the waste disposal map, to the right as you enter the 'ambush' room (after Sally mentions their radios going quiet, after traversing the string of rooms she unlocks for you one-by-one). Also, you will want to pick up the [[samurai's sword]], which is located in a closet that is full of medical supplies that you encounter just before you teleport from this area.
 
# [[Cryo lab]] and [[cryo storage]]. As mentioned above you must get these before entering the airlock. (6 total; [[#Alien captive recorded log_2|2]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_4|4]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_11|11]] and [[#Alien captive recorded log_17|17]] in the former, [[#Alien captive recorded log_16|16]] and [[#Alien captive recorded log_25|25]] in the latter).
 
#* Before you can get the first recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_4|4]]} inside the cryo labs, you must activate a button titled "Release Mechanism". This release mechanism is in the first room of the labs on the left side of the transparent floor. The recording is down a short flight of stairs to the right of the level entrance, inside a room blocked by a blue stasis field with other earth-based misc loot. The second recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_2|2]]} is inside a stasis room containing two aliens and a ghoul in stasis - the room south on the map, not the north one across from it. The third and fourth recordings {[[#Alien captive recorded log_11|11]], [[#Alien captive recorded log_17|17]]} are inside the room with Elliott's squad, or, if you do not have Elliott with you, three wastelanders on operating tables. '''The doors are locked behind you once you go through the round door with the conic hologram hovering over it.''' Make sure you get all four from the cryo lab before progressing through this door to the cryo storage entrance. Teleporting back from storage locks doors behind you in the lab. If this happens, in order to get the recordings you will need to teleport from the lab to storage, and backtrack to the doorway from storage to the lab.
 
#* The first recording inside cryo Storage {[[#Alien captive recorded log_25|25]]} is just to the left of the entrance. The second {[[#Alien captive recorded log_16|16]]}, is in the south-west corner of the map, downstairs.
 
# [[Research lab]] (via [[cargo hold]]). As mentioned above you must get these before entering the airlock (2 total).
 
#* The first recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_13|13]]} inside the [[research lab]] is in the "vehicular" (containing several pre-War cars and a human spacecraft) section on a four-sided console near the human spacecraft. The second recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_21|21]]} is located in the first [[Giddyup Buttercup]] room; it is in the central portion of the room near four alien consoles, on the opposite side of the room as a closed door containing a [[healing archway]].
 
# [[Weapons lab]] (1 total).
 
#* The only recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_24|24]]} in this location is inside the lab control room. Do not miss the fourth-largest group of 87 [[Alien power cell (Fallout 3)|alien power cell]]s on a shelf inside this room.
 
# [[Experimentation lab]] (3 total).
 
#* The first recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_20|20]]} is inside the room with the two large tentacle examination chairs, directly across from them. The second {[[#Alien captive recorded log_10|10]]} is on the north wall of the observation room. The last {[[#Alien captive recorded log_9|9]]} is inside the room being observed, next to the [[abomination]]s on the operating tables.
 
# [[Biological research]] (1 total)
 
#* The penultimate recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_18|18]]} is in the northern-most area of the bio-lab, on the second floor, in a depression ringed with computers. Before or after you reunite with Sally and the others at the end of this level, do not miss the largest stash of alien power cells on Mothership Zeta (109), located in the adjacent room (after first disabling the door barrier)--down the stairs, near the entrance to the bridge.
 
Make sure that you have 24 out of 25 logs before leaving this area. After you leave for the Death Ray Hub, the teleporter will break and you will not be able to access this area again.
 
# [[Living quarters]] (1 total)
 
#* The last recording {[[#Alien captive recorded log_23|23]]} is inside a small room at the opposite end of the hallway from the samurai. When you enter, continue down the hallway. You will enter a large room, continue heading south until you come to a hallway, at this hallway turn right and keep going until you see a room with tables and chairs, it looks like an alien dining room/cafeteria, as soon as you enter this room it will be on your right. Alternately, it can be found in the south-western room on the map, due south-east of the exit to the bridge.

Alien captive recordings (called alien captive recorded log in-game) are items added to Fallout 3 in the add-on Mothership Zeta.

Description

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 them all will grant the Alien Archivist achievement/trophy.

You will need to collect all the recordings while playing through the add-on's storyline. Steps 3, 4 and 5 (see detailed walkthrough) are not available after you space walk up to the bridge. After completing the add-on you are only able to access the bridge, the engineering core, the steamworks and the holding cells - all other areas are inaccessible.

Locations

Please note that this alien captive recordings chart is in order by log number.

This is my final message.
Whoever finds this tape; you've got to send help up here. They've been keeping us in cells, but I've managed to escape. I think I know what they want with our world, and they won't stop until they've taken hundreds, or thousands, of us.
I've got to keep moving. Good luck to all of us. And Godspeed.

What? Talk into this thing? Just...talk? I don't have to do anything else?
(Alien Babble)
(Hit)Ow! All right! <Zap!> Ow! I said all right! Just stop!
Hello. Um...hello. My name is Andrew Endicott.
On the night of May 17th, the year of our Lord 1697, I was...I was taken. From my home in Salem Village.
I...I do not know where I am, exactly, or why I came to be here.
I have seen, through...windows...the stars, and sun, and beloved Earth. Down there, below me.
So it would seem I am aboard some vessel, suspended in the ether; ironically, it would seem, so close to where I thought Heaven must surely lie.
But this is not Heaven. And my captors are not angels. I am not entirely unconvinced that the scripture is wrong. That Heaven and Hell are reversed.
For my captives are devils. Demons from my nightmares. Even now they watch me, make me talk.
They seem to want me to tell my story. I know not why. A record of their deeds, perhaps? Or am I just a pawn in some...some evil game.
And there are others. Other...captives, I mean. From whence they came I cannot say.
Some wear strange dress, as if they are from...a different time. And some are...frozen! As in ice! Unmoving! But, I think...alive.
I believe they plan the same fate for me. Will I be frozen, too? Will I...
(Alien Babble and Physical hit)
Ow! Stop it! I did what you said! You wanted me to talk, so I talked! Just leave me! Leave me be!

Alien captive recorded log 3

Transcript

(Alien Babble)
Yes, yes, I understand! I've seen the others. I'll do what you want.
This is Doctor Morrison Rand, Professor of Anthropological Archaeology at Banfield College, Humboldt, Oregon.
Shortly after 10:00 p.m., on August 16, 2041, as I was leaving the college campus, headed to my car, I saw a blinding light.
It just...appeared. In the sky, directly over me. I was blinded. I also found my body completely immobilized. I couldn't move, not at all.
What happened next is...hazy. I don't remember much. But what became clear later - what is certainly clear now - is that I was abducted.
I am now the captive of an alien race, one of many people held here, against our will. And, like those others, I am recording who I am.
Why? Because the aliens want us to, for some reason. They have us do it right before they put us into some kind of...suspended animation.
These recordings...it's almost as if we're creating our own library catalog entries, before we get put into a giant collection.
The entire experience would be fascinating if I weren't so completely terrified.
(Alien Babble)
What? Stop? You want me to stop now. All right! All right, see? I'm stopping...

(Alien Babble)
Oh! I see! Like a tape recorder, right? You just want me to talk? I can do that, certainly.
Hello there! I'm Madeline Wallace. Of the Cincinnati Wallaces?
Well, I...I'm here, on this rocket ship. I'm with the strange men, the space men. The ones who brought me here.
My entire family is onboard, actually. My husband, Roy, daughter Margaret, and my son Arthur, as well.
Oh, you should see Arthur! He's so excited. He says this is much better than the things they show on Captain Cosmos.
And I have to say - I agree! Everything is just so...fantastical! I can only hope our captives have been talking with Uncle Sam.
Because with these doohickeys, we'd have the Reds beat in no time! Heh heh heh heh.
(Alien Babble)
Hmmm? I'm terribly sorry, sir. I'm doing my best. I really don't know what you want me to say.
Whomever will listen to this recording, I would just like to state that if you find yourself in the same boat as the Wallaces, don't be afraid.
I'm not entirely sure what our hosts want, but the situation has been entirely acceptable. We have been treated fairly.
Anyway, the space man is waving his little electrical stick thingy, so I think I'm done. Goodbye!

(Alien Babble)
Hey now. No reason to get yourselves worked up. Whatever you need, I'm going to tell it to you.
(Alien Babble)
Well, I'm pretty sure you want me to talk into this thing, so here goes.
My name is Giles Wolstencroft...I'm the current Assistant Chief Executive Officer of the Vault-Tec Corporation.
I was inspecting the construction site of Vault 76 when I was captured by what I can only assume are alien beings from another world.
I'm not sure what they want from me, or what they will do to me, but whatever they need, I will readily provide.
Perhaps if I can bridge our communication gap and establish a rapport with them, we can enter into an exclusive trade agreement.
In fact, instead of talking to this damn machine, I'm going to attempt to address them directly.
On behalf of the Vault-Tec Corporation, I'd like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you. Wait...you don't need that...wait! WAIT! <zap>

Female voice: What are we gonna do? They just threw me in this cell with you after they poked and prodded me and now I just hope they won't kill us.

Female voice: Yeah! They need us for FOOD or something! You saw that guy! He was all...cut open...like he'd been butchered! Oh my god! We're gonna be next!

Parts of this recording were used in the official trailer.

Transcript

This is my final message. If this doesn't work, I hope someone gets this recording and can bring it back to Earth.

I've been able to figure out how to use some of the alien devices, like this recorder, and I think I know what they want with our world.

They mean to take as many of us as they can and change us into...some sort of abomination. Many have been killed because of their experiments.

They've been keeping us in cells, and then moving us one by one to their experimentation labs. I've managed to escape, but they are looking for me.

You've got to send help up here. As far as I can tell, they're never going to stop until they've captured hundreds...maybe thousands of us.

The good news is that they're totally reliant on technology. Without it, they're no tougher than you or I.

A small, well-equipped force could take this ship and free all of the prisoners on board. That's your best chance.

I've got to keep moving, so I need to hide this tape. Good luck to all of us, and godspeed.
