The Citadel terminal entries are a series of notes found on terminals in the Citadel in Fallout 3.

Arthur Maxson's personal terminal

Diary Entry 1

Transcript

Stupid Scribe Rothchild and his stupid lab. All I wanted to do was talk to the robot and see if he'd be my friend. So what if he can't walk.

Diary Entry 2

Transcript

Yesterday, Sarah taught me how to kill a man by stabbing him in the kidneys. I think I'm in love.

Story: The Guardians of Gillyfrond

Poem: Song of the Lightman

Guns and Bullets

Transcript

Vargas doesn't know I've been reading his copy of Guns and Bullets, and I should probably keep it that way. I mean, it's right there, under his bunk in the Den. What did he expect?

Citadel Lab terminals

AVF Problem

Transcript

Recent experiments with Acclerated Vector Fusion (AVF) have not gone according to plan. All scribes assigned to the Lab should check with Scribe Rothchild on a daily basis, and obtain any modified technical parameters as needed.

Warning! Leaky Hydraulics

Transcript

It isIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar come to our attention that several Scribes have slipped on hydraulic fluid near the eastern end of the robot lift. Until the offending pipes can be mended completely, please use caution in that area.

Enclave Tactical Assessment

Transcript

Weapons -- Plasma-based, capable of molecular destabilization. Armor -- Advanced Power Armor Mark II. Transportation -- Vertibirds.
Tactical Assessment -- the Enclave forces that have occupied Project Purity are nearly identical to those encountered on the West Coast in the year 2241.
Threat Potential -- Severe

G.N.R. Battle After-Action Report

Transcript

It is the opinion of Sentinel Lyons that the recent super mutant attacks on GNR was not indicative of a larger assault, as was originally thought.

Instead, the forces that attacked the radio station were probably en route to the Mall, to reinforce their own kind in a prolonged battle against the mercenaries of Talon Company.

General Robot Diagnostics -- Updated

Transcript

Scribe Rothchild has completed a new full diagnostic of the robot. Here are those results:

Mobility -- 0%
Navigation Translation -- 0%
Internal Processors -- 87%
Weapons Systems -- 60%
Power Management -- 3%
Voice Module -- 100%

It is the assessment of Scribe Rothchild that once the Power Management issues are solved, Mobility and Navigation Translation will jump to at least 50% -- well within acceptable operating capacity.

Notice: Reddin Funeral Canceled

Transcript

Due to certain unexpected tactical developments, funeral services for Initiate Reddin have been cancelled. A memorial service will be scheduled some time in the future. Date TBD.

AEP7 laser pistol

Transcript

The AEP7 laser pistol was put into service to replace the AEP5, a model which was notorious for its problems with overheating. The AEP7 features a new design in the photonic focusing chamber as well as an entirely redesigned focusing crystal pattern. The bulk and weight have both been reduced over previous models and it was likely that within the new few development cycles, the successor to the AEP7 would replace the N99 10mm as the standard issue sidearm for all forces.
The AEP7 took advantage of new manufacturing techniques developed shortly before the Great War. Although many were produced, most did not make it into field service because of logistics problems concerning their deployment during active wartime.
The AEP7 can be a rare find in the Capital Wasteland, and any models that are produced should be returned to the Citadel for repair and recalibrating before field deployment.

AER9 laser rifle

Transcript

Unlike many of the weapons in use today, the AER9 is actually not the top laser rifle that was in service at the time of the Great War. The model line went up to the state-of-the-art AER12, which saw service in a handful of specialty units. The reason that the AER9 is much more commonly found is that it was much sturdier and more reliable than the models that followed.
The AER9 features a titanium housed crystal array which proved to withstand long years of exposure to the elements much better than the gold alloy housing of the later models. As a result, the crystal arrays stayed focused within operating parameters, rather than falling completely out of focus like the newer models.
As with all energy weapons, the AER9 can suffer from poor performance if not properly maintained. The crystal arrays and non-mechanical components are delicate and if not properly serviced can lead to a loss of beam intensity, overheating, and energy regulation failure.

N99 10mm pistol

Transcript

The 10mm N99 sidearm was standard issue military gear following the phase out of the N80 in 2051. The N99 was known for its ability to survive in the harshest of conditions and in many tests, the weapon was able to reliably be restored to working condition after an extended period of time exposed to hard elements and without maintenance.
The N99 proved to stand up to its claims and as a result, is one of the most common weapons found in use in the Wasteland. While many civilian weapons were ruined beyond use in the exterior conditions following the war, the N99 is commonly able to be easily restored to working order by anyone with the most basic knowledge of firearm mechanics.
However, an N99 in poor condition can often deliver low target and armor penetration, frequent jamming, and greatly reduced accuracy. Fortunately, the weapon was produced in great numbers and units are available for replacement parts.

R91 5.56mm assault rifle

Transcript

The R Series of combat assault rifles was used reliably following the discontinuation of the M series in the early 21st century. The R series, produced by civilian manufacturer Stent Security Solutions, was made in many models and variations. The variation most common to the DC Wasteland is the R91 full-auto urban assault rifle.
This rifle was standard issue for the National Guard during urban pacification operations. Fortunately for our purposes, the Nation Guard had been fully deployed around the DC area during the time of the war. As a result, the R91 is readily available for those willing to search. Although nearly two centuries of scavenging has reduced the numbers of working units, the R91 remains a favorite of Slavers and raiders. this rifle can also often be obtained from legitimate traders and arms dealers.
Like any firearm, the R91's effectiveness and accuracy can suffer without regular maintenance.

Mission Cloacina Report

Transcript

CODENAME: CLOACINA
Development Report
Development of the Mutant Undermining Lifeform continues apace, and our chief bio-engineers are certain that they will be able to perfect these living weapons in time for deployment into Red China.
Once covertly released into an enemy's environment, their aggressive qualities, dangerous hunger, and pervasive breeding should severely undermine the infrastructure of the location in short order, softening the target for ground invasion. At this point, the genetic kill-switch can be activated, allowing for easy reclamation -- not including a significant, one-time clean up effort.
Current MUL development primarily uses genetic stock of rodents, particularly the common sewer rat, and progress has been significant. FEV testing has been rejected, however, as the results are sterile.

Project Brainstorm Report

Transcript

Brainstorm Military/Cultural Center
2076 Progress Report
Our flagship project, the Induced Patriotism Initiative, has met with resounding success. Our agents have successfully included covert and overt messages of extreme patriotism and loyalty into popular media ranging from the big screen to the Sunday funnies. Increased military enrollment amongst target demographics serves to underline this success.
Agent Webb has been particularly effective at influencing the music industry, and he has interesting proposals for the fields of organized sports and even such notoriously difficult markets as comic books and toys.
A success in these areas would ensure early education with our message, and thus ensure a more dedicated and devoted nation for us all.

Report on U.F.O. codenamed "Palandine"

Transcript

Further investigations into the U.F.O. codenamed "Palandine" have confirmed our suspicions.
On the evening of May 3, 2062, an alien craft of unknown make and origin did indeed breach the airspace just north of Hagerstown, Maryland and crashed into a heavily wooded, non-residential area.
Unfortunately, attempts to retrieve the craft proved unsuccessful. It simply could not be located, either due to some kind of advanced invisibility shielding, or because the occupants managed to make repairs and vacate the crash site before our arrival.
Despite our failure of recovery, the significance of this event cannot be denied.
We are not alone.
