Alien captive recorded log

The alien captive recorded logs are holotapes .
__TOC__
==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.
The player 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 the space walk up to the bridge. After completing the add-on, the only accessible areas are the bridge, the engineering core, the steamworks, and the holding cells.
==Locations==
Alien captive recorded logs chart in order by log number.
Recording	Encounter step	Area 	Get Before Spacewalk?	Location 	Form ID
#01 	1 	Holding cells 	Yes 	To the right of recorded log 3 in another "control" panel. 	
#02 	4 	Cryo lab 	Yes 	In the southernmost corner in a "control" panel. 	
#03 	1 	Holding cells 	Yes 	To the right of the player's holding cell, in a room after passing under a healing archway. It is immediately to the left upon entering the room, in another "control" panel. 	
#04 	4 	Cryo lab 	Yes 	Enter the lab, take a left, activate the "release mechanism" and then go downstairs into the room that just opened. It will be on a wall in a "control" panel behind a healing archway. 	
#05 	2 	Engineering core 	Yes 	In the southern part, to the right of the far southern doorway. 	
#06 	2 	Engineering core 	Yes 	In the same room as logs 5, 7 and 8. 	
#07 	2 	Engineering core 	Yes 	In the same room as logs 5, 6 and 8. 	
#08 	2 	Engineering core 	Yes 	In the same room as logs 5, 6 and 7. 	
#09 	7 	Experimentation lab	No 	Near the tables with the abominations being operated on. 	
#10 	7 	Experimentation lab	No 	In the room of the experimentation lab with the core and the core coolant switches, look on the right wall of the room for the log. 	
#11 	4 	Cryo lab 	Yes 	In the northernmost part of the lab before going into the cryo storage. There is a "control" panel to the right of a door when entering the room where the player can freeze everybody by pressing a switch. 	
#12 	1 	Holding cells 	Yes 	To the right of recorded log 1 in another "control" panel. It is to the right of the door. 	
#13 	5 	Research lab 	Yes 	Near Colonel Hartigan's space capsule. 	
#14 	1 	Holding cells 	Yes 	In the same room as logs 15 and 22 on the opposite wall. 	
#15 	1 	Holding cells 	Yes 	To the left of the player's holding cell, down the hall in what looks like a control room. The player must then activate a "control" on the wall. 	
#16 	4 	Cryo storage 	Yes 	In the westernmost part of the cryo storage room, and in the southern part of the room to the west. 	
#17 	4 	Cryo lab 	Yes 	In the northernmost part of the lab before going into the cryo storage, there is a "control" panel to the left of a door when going into the room where the player can freeze everybody by pressing a switch. 	
#18 	8 	Biological research	No 	In the northernmost area, in what looks to be a small control center. 	
#19 	3 	Waste disposal 	Yes 	In the room where the "ambush" occurs. Upon entering the room, turn directly to the right; there should be a "control" panel that holds the log. This is the large room right before meeting back up with Sally. WARNING: Do not miss this one before getting out of the waste disposal as the teleporter shuts down. Also, the teleporter to the waste disposal is only open during the quest Among the Stars. As such, this is the only time to get the recording.	
#20 	7 	Experimentation lab	No 	Upon entering the lab, take a right and keep heading right until one enters a room with the experimentation chairs. It is on the wall in front of those chairs. 	
#21 	5 	Research lab 	Yes 	In the center of the middle room by two horses on the tables. 	
#22 	1 	Holding cells 	Yes 	In the same room as log 15, on a "control" panel. 	
#23 	9 	Living quarters 	No 	Upon entering, continue down the hallway, which will lead to a large room. Continue heading south until there is another hallway. In this hallway, turn right and enter the first room on the left with tables and chairs, it looks like an alien dining room/cafeteria. Upon entering this room, it will be on the right. 	
#24 	6 	Weapons lab 	No 	In the room where all the guns, ammunition and grenades/mines are located, in what seems to be a control room. 	
#25 	4 	Cryo storage 	Yes 	Upon entering the cryo storage, it is to the left in a "control" panel.
