 | The following is based on Fallout 3 cut content. |

The reconstructed audio logs (spelled rescontructed audio log in-game) are a series of holotapes which were cut from the final version of the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage. They can only be found in the G.E.C.K.
The script notes state: "Static and broken audio throughout the entire holotape. This is reconstructed surveillance. Overheard office chatter."

Reconstructed audio log 40.26[]
...yeah, I can. Don't know who exactly this simulation is supposed to benefit, though.
<static>
Jesus, are these guys serious? Why would they bring that kind of hardware with them?
<static>
I got word from brass at the Pentagon. We're going to need to modify the RoE on the Chinese to match this.
<static>
We just got more field reports from DoD. Hey, Rick. You busy?
Reconstructed audio log 11.38[]
You and me both. The General gets any more comfortable here and there going to be lot more all-nighters for everybody.
<static>
Between us, I think the General's taken a little too much interest in the project. You know how the CO's office is usually a formality?
<static>
...yeah, got to. These bombers Chase requested; we're pushing the system to the brink with all this crap.
<static>
Let's see, if I can just re-allocate some of the... yeah, that frees up memory for the bombers, and...
<static>
I hear Chase is having them deliver his personal effects, heh, including an overnight cot.
Reconstructed audio log 31.13[]
Yeah? We can talk about how many times he made me re-work the way his coat looks in the sim...
<static>
Sure, but the idea of the Chinese developing something similar isn't out of the question.
<static>
Chimera Tanks? Come on, man, even you have to admit these are sheer fantasy.
<static>
Look, this is the job. Most of these scenarios will never happen, but if they do, we'll have a plan.
<static>
I swear, if Chase comes to us with another ridiculous contingency scenario...
Reconstructed audio log 13.13[]
...<laughs>You almost sound like a sympathizer - you really feel sorry for the poor saps?
<static>
Yeah, exactly. They're in for a long haul.
<static>
You'd think, but they're not like us. Their boys are drafted and left to rot on whatever shit assignment they're handed.
<static>
No, no - it's not that at all. I get that the Chinese occupation in Alaska is strictly military, but don't you think they'd settle in a bit?
Behind the scenes[]
The voices heard in these cut holotapes appear to be that of developers. For example, Alan Nanes voices the line "Jesus, are these guys serious?"
