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.

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.

And we will be triumphant. Guide Acquired by playing through the level.

We're Not Alone

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.

Water Supplies

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.

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...
