Audio Log

Audio Logs are collectable items in Red Faction: Armageddon that provide lore surrounding current and past events of the game's story. Logs can be identified by their light blue beam above the object.

There are 47 audio logs in total. To earn the Chronicler achievement, only 40 logs need to be collected by the player. Once an audio log is found, it can be later listened to through the game's "Extras" menu.

In addition to the 37 audio logs, the player receives 10 additional audio logs relating to Noella's archivist data.

Armageddon

Audio Log 06 Last day in uniform tomorrow. Don't know how I feel about that. The Red Faction is all I've known my whole life... but I made a promise to Marie. She worries to much. Should be slow tomorrow. Just a routine patrol around the Terraformer and then I'm officially retired. Guide This log is at the start of the level - Before you destroy the Last shield protector tower after picking up the Plasma Cannon - Go to the right away from the shielded exit, and the log is beside one of the defensive barriers.

Audio Log 21 Jason Paul, ID number 6-0-0-4-5. Evening report. Nothing. As usual, Sectors 1 through 36 are quiet and humming along. I swear I could take a four-hour nap and nobody would notice.

The Terraformer

Guide After going up the first set of ramps that spiral, you'll enter a corridor with 2 Cultists, the log is sitting in the doorway to your right.

Audio Log 23 Donnie, somebody screwed our order. We needed a C5 Exo suit. The Loader unit...not a damn SHIVA. How does something like this even happen? We need to stack coolant not blow it up. Get it out of here before someone gets drunk and takes it for a joyride. Guide After repairing the turbines and stopping the Cultists from destroying the room, you go up a ladder and to another set of spiralling ramps. When you get to the top there is a Cultist Officer - behind him on route to the next area is the audio log.

Audio Log 33 They call us terrorists Fanatics. Us? It wasn't us that drove us from our homes. Into exile... They hate us. Fear us. Why? Because they are jealous. They are scared. They know who we are. They know we are the true Masters of Mars, and because of this they must destroy us. Destroy our very way of life... My Children, we are not the outcasts. We are the chosen. And we will be triumphant. Guide Acquired by playing through the level.

We're Not Alone

Audio Log 20 Ultor recon squad...Day forty...something. Seven? We lost Gomez last night. That's six now. Another night like this and we'll have a mutiny on our hands.

Guide After you slow down to talk to S.A.M as she tries to detect what the moving objects are, theres a drop to your left, right down there is the audio log beside 2 salvage pick ups.

Outbreak

Audio Log 02 God damnit. Someone's been messing with my coms again. I can't raise Bastion, can't raise Station 2...Can't get anything! I bet it was Whiteside.

Guide Just after the start of the level after heading up some stairs, there's a tunnel entrance to the right with fire burning inside, the audio log is just at the entrance of the tunnel.

Audio Log 08 Hey Timmy, it's pops. Just wanted to say happy birthday. Sorry I can't be there today...General's got us out on a... well...Top secret mission. I'll be back in a couple of weeks.

On the left of the Monolith the audio log is sitting by some rocks and ammo.

Road To Bastion

Audio Log 36 that's three days in a row the goddamn Marauder whore has been slinging her trash in Bastion...I've told every god-damn official from here to Refuge about her, but they don't do anything!

Guide As the level starts, turn around, the log is beside a colonist civilian up behind the Emergency Transport Vehicle.

Audio Log 25 Maggie...They've extended my tour another six months. Said it's about maintaining unit cohesion in a time of war...Same excuse as last time!

Goddamn thing was huge. Guide When the Gondola portion of the level ends, the level continues down into a tunnel. Instead of going into the tunnel, take the road that curves up to the right, the log is up there amongst some ammo and salvage.

Bastion Defences

Audio Log 27 The kid blames himself for what happened. It ain't his fault. But the Generals don't see it that way...somebody has to take the blame, and it sure as shit won't be them. We never should have stormed the Terraformer like that. It was exactly what Hale wanted. I'm startin' to think it was exactly what the top brass wanted to... Guide Immediately after the cutscene with Luther where he tells you how to get the power cells, the audio log is in the tube-like structure you go through.

Audio Log 01 Another suicide this week. Franklin will undoubtedly respond with mandatory time in the UV booths but he's ignoring the larger problem. We came to Mars because they promised us the dream of a new world. That dream is dead. Pretty soon, we will be too.

If you continue past the turrets the audio log is off to the side by the rock wall.

And the fucker responsible gets off scott free...Guy was a joke when he was in uniform, and he's still a joke now. Must be nice to have a famous daddy. Guide In the room where you have to fix the generators to bring the shield protector down, the audio log is sitting right beside one of the broken generators.

Water Supplies

Audio Log 37 Alright Zug. Pay attention because I'm only gonna say this once. You're gonna buy the shipment as-is for three thousand credits, because that was the deal. Send another one of your goons to muscle me and I'll slip a knife between your ribs so fast you won't have time to soil yourself. Understood? Oh - and tell the blonde he left a couple of teeth in the back of my truck. Guide Immediately after starting the level, the audio log is directly in front of you in a doorway.

Audio Log 19 Mark, Where the hell are you? You were supposed to be back two hours ago. I need you to take a look at these seismic readings. Something's not right.

Before heading down to the bottom, there's an audio log across the room from you.

Audio Log 28 Trish, it's Frank. I, uh...look, I really don't know what to say. I suppose if I did we wouldn't be here to start with. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. You deserve better. I signed the papers...I'll drop 'em off in the morning. Guide After you repair the first set of water pumps, you go out into an area where a Berserker attacks you. Just passed him on the left is a Monorail station, and on the other side of the of the platforms is the audio log, you will need to sprint and jump to get it.

Ice Mines

Audio Log 16 We've run some preliminary surface tests and the results are...well, they're not good. The storms are out of control and show no signs of stopping. Atmosphere-wise we're OK... we can breathe it, but there's no way to judge long-term effects. We may be stuck down here for a while now. Guide After exiting the administration building, a Monolith will spawn. Behind the Monolith is the steps upwards to continue onwards, if you walk past the steps down to the right hand side you will comes across the audio log as well as salvage and ammo.

Audio Log 17 This is bullshit. I've explained to them over and over that we can fix the Terraformer, but they just sit on their asses. It's like they don't want us to move back to the surface. Probably making too much money keeping us down here... Guide Immediately after the cutscene with the dying corporeal, theres some stairs to your left and a chain fence on your right, go up the stairs and look for an entrance to a room where a big claw like machine is in the middle, on the bottom floor of that room is the audio log.

Infection

Audio Log 12 Pretty good week at the shop. Made almost 500 credits...Twice what we pulled in last week. At this rate Jon and I will get our own place before the new year. Who would have thought sledgehammers would be such a hot commodity. Guide After destroying the first infected building, assuming you destroy these buildings in order, the path takes you up some stairs, just before you go up the stairs the audio log is below a big screen with blue patterns on it.

On The Run

Audio Log 31 These pipes aren't looking good...Too much condensation building up on the outside. Shit rusts a lot faster since the Terraformer blew. Then the pipe leaks and the water starts eating away at the rock. It's like this all over...I don't know how we're gonna fix it. We got maybe a year or two before the whole system collapses... Guide When Kara makes contact with you, you have to repair the ramp to continue onwards, after the conversation is complete and you repair the ramp, instead of going up the ramp to the right go towards the weapon station directly ahead of you. To the left is the audio log.

Audio Log 31 Jake, we're gonna meet at the bar at four. Hutson and I are gonna be there early to set up, so if you wanted to give us a hand...hint, hint...feel free. Tara is supposed to bring Anoop around 4:30. And please try to keep this quiet...I know how hard it is for you to keep a secret. See you soon, buddy. Guide The placement of this log is very deceptive, it is on the left behind a wall immediately after going inside the building where Darius asks S.A.M. if he can cut through the building. You have to exit the LEO to get to it.

Audio Log 29 We just left them there...Dozens of people waiting for rescue. Relying on us...and we just...drove away. Left them to die. Every time I close my eyes I can see their faces. Angry. Confused. Desperate. I can't get those goddamn faces out of my head.. Guide After exiting the LEO and talking to S.A.M., you have to repair a ladder and climb up to proceed to the next area, right at the top of the ladder is the audio log.

The Red Faction

Audio Log 32 Twelve people dead. Ripped to pieces. I can still hear them. They came from...from nowhere and everywhere. The walls, the floors, the ceilings. Just kept coming, pouring from the shadows...How do you stop that? How do you kill a nightmare? Guide Assuming you kill the alien Pods in order, the very last one that is at the very top left of the area. To the right of this behind one of the Tentacles is the audio log.

Relay Stations

Audio Log 07 First half of the payment has been deposited. He's scheduled to arrive early evening. Hale says he's not to be harmed until the job is over. Gonna be hard not to shoot the bastard in the back of the head...but at least the Masons are finally gonna get what's coming to them. Guide Right after the Rail Driver is unlocked, the log is sitting directly ahead of it.

Audio Log 34 Tomorrow. Tomorrow all our dreams will be realized...and his nightmare begins. He has no idea what horrors lie ahead...Tomorrow, my children - we claim our destiny. Guide After passing through the turbulent wind section of the level, you go down a bridge to destroy the third tower. The game then wants you to continue down to the right to get to the fourth and fifth towers, before doing that there's a catwalk bridge that inclines to higher ground on the left, just on the right after crossing the bridge is the audio log.

Marauder Defenses

Audio Log 03 We are now 26 hours and counting since our last contact with the colonists. I think it's time to assume the worst. The Chancellor has begun contingency planning with the top generals. Whatever Red Faction's plan is, we know it will result in high casualties. We are ready for it. If they want a war, we'll give them one. Guide Just as Kara informs Darius that the first generator is up and running, you will be at a bridge crossing with several paths. Instead of going down to the right where the game wants you to go, go straight on up and over the bridge in front of you. The audio log is on the other side with some salvage and ammo.

Audio Log 04 Something hit Omega station last night. I've never seen anything like it. Bodies torn apart...flesh burned to the bone. Nobody can prove it, but I know Red Faction are behind this. They've gone too far. I'm going to advise the Chancellor to authorize Project Centurion. Guide After defeating the Behemoth and Wraiths to remove the barrier and continue, you are presented with the next objective to destroy the bridge. You can get this audio log before or after, since you will go in the direction of the audio log as the last part of this mission. In the black hallway leading to the turret defence section, the left side of the room has the audio log in an inlet.

Older Enemies

Audio Log 18 I...I was wrong. This wasn't the Red Faction. It never was. Something has been...awakened. Something that's been here for a long...long time. We should have known better. We were to focused on what we wanted to believe...We've been overrun. The Chancellor is missing. Half our forces are dead. The rest won't survive the week. We planned for the wrong war. And now...now, it's to late. Guide This audio log is at the start of the level just after you walk down the steps as you are talking to Kara over the radio.

Audio Log 19 Lab reports came back on one of the bugs we brought in...and...well something has to be wrong. There are distinct genetic similarities between these creatures and the Ultor Plague from 2075. No one knows what this means, but until we do, I suggest we keep it to ourselves. Guide After walking along the lengthy bridge/catwalk that you have to repair, and also dodge Tentacles that come out of the wall, you'll enter into a hallway (about halfway along the hallway a tentacle spawns in the window gap) the audio leg is to your left in this hallway.

Audio Log 10 How long did we know about these things? How many people have died because of this secret? Thousands? Millions? All in the name of science...We're just as bad as Capek. Maybe worse. Guide Right before you cross the bridge where the Berserker charges at you, a bunch of Creepers come towards you. Just on the left of the area beside a computer console is the audio log.

The Road Less Travelled

Audio Log 26 The design is flawless. Eight relays feeding into a central geothermal reactor that powers the repulsor beam, that in turn churns the magma. It's literally powering itself. Forever. Publicly, the machine is simply an experiment in renewable energy...It's a pity no one will ever know its true purpose... Guide After the first portion of riding the barge is over and you have to disable the forcefield preventing the barge moving further, you get off and go up the path into a structure, on the right as you enter is the audio log.

Noella's Archivist Logs

Log	Transcript
01	Someone has been accessing the archive remotely...I'm not sure what they're looking for, but the targeted files seem to be from the Ultor database. They won't have much luck finding anything...They'll never be able to get through the decryptions...Should probably keep an eye on this though...Who knows what else they're after.
02	We've found out the identity of the hacker. It's Adam Hale. The files being targeted are Capek's personal logs...Everything we've kept secret from the public - secret from our own leaders - is in there...the MASTers, the Seal, the origin of the Plauge...He must be stopped.
03	Hale knows about the expedition...He knows Capek and his Martian Advanced Science Team - The MASTers - found an ancient shaft...thousands of years old...That's why he's trying to access the records. He wants what's down there...Sleeping in the planet core.
04	The destruction of the Terraformer has been devastating...but there is a silver lining in it. Hale is dead. Whatever his master plan was, it's now over. Capek's secrets are buried with him.
05	I can't go to the Marauders with this information. The Archivists have kept this truth hidden all these years...I cannot break my vows. But I fear what will happen if I do not. Hale is too close...
06	Capek discovered the...the nightmares...All his scientific breakthroughs...his "miracles"...were a direct result of what the MASTers found deep below the surface. We were successful in stopping their first attack...but the Ultor Plague was just a precursor...something worse is coming.
07	This can't be happening...Hale is dead. No one else knew about the creatures...The clues to stopping them must be in Capek's journals. I can find it. I just need more time...
08	They spent months inside those tunnels...studying the dormant creatures...taking samples...And then something happened. Something woke them up. They escaped just in time...Only a handful of scientists survived, and the ones that returned had gone mad. Capek the worst of them all...
09	The Seal is the key to everything...its technology is far superior to anything we've ever known. According to the records, it acts as an environmental control...an atmospheric generator of some kind. No one knows where it came from...But as long as the Seal is in place, the Plague stays dormant.
10	Hale is alive...I'm sure of it. He accessed the Ultor logs again last night. I've locked the archives, but that won't stop him. He'll come looking for me. None of this can be stopped now...We're all doomed.
