Data Logs are collectibles in ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON. They can be obtained by interacting with certain AC wrecks found in some of game's missions. Collecting Data Logs is mostly optional, but occasionally they are required mission objectives. There are 50 Data Logs in total, and collecting all of them will unlock an exclusive Emblem. The player can view their obtained Data Logs in the Archives section of the License Menu.

Masaru Yamamura: There will be missions where you’re fighting across sweeping battlefields–very combat-oriented... But you’ll sometimes be recovering data logs from wreckage and doing other side objectives too.[1]

System Logs[]

One-Sided Engagement[]

SL One Sided Engagement
System log extracted from a wreck.
Allows one to examine the operation of the craft prior
to its destruction.

The log indicates that the FCS was operating at
maximum capacity, and yet it was still unable to
track the enemy.

It was completely overwhelmed by V.IV Rusty's speed.
This was clearly a one-sided engagement.


The Deserter[]

SL The Deserter
System log extracted from a wreck.
Allows one to examine the commands received by the
craft prior to its destruction.

No data regarding offensive or evasive maneuvers
detected.

It appears that the pilot of this craft immediately
pulled the emergency eject lever at the start of the
operation.


Video Records[]

STEEL HAZE[]

VR STEEL HAZE
Video record extracted from a wreck.
Allows one to discern the assembly of V.IV Rusty's AC,
STEEL HAZE.

The STEEL HAZE appears to be assembled from a Schneider
high-mobility frame equipped with weapons that allow
for swift, agile action.

Notably, Rusty appears to favor kinetic weaponry that
Vespers members would not normally use.


Communication Attempt[]

VR Communication Attempt
Video record extracted from a wreck.
Contains leftover data from an attempt to communicate
with V.IV Rusty during combat.
----------------
How could you...?!
I... I know who you are!

I've seen Uncle's files...

At least tell me why...!


BAWS Arsenal No. 2[]

VR BAWS Arsenal NO2
Video record extracted from a wreck.
Contains data recorded by the craft's cameras
in the past.

It seems that this craft was once stationed at
BAWS Arsenal No. 2.

At first glance, the recovered image depicts nothing
out of the ordinary. However, on closer inspection,
one can identify noise in one corner of the picture
indicative of digital interference...

Potentially, an effect of Monitor Display Deception
jamming.


Rubiconian Invective[]

VR Rubiconian Invective
Video record extracted from a wreck.
Appears to be a recording of a Rubicon Liberation
Front address to fellow comrades.
----------------
They say that the Coral was plentiful, infinite!
Before the Fires of Ibis.

And then the Institute burned this planet dry.

The academics in their ivory tower underestimated
the power of Rubicon's blessing—and when it laid their
weakness bare, they burned it all to ash!


G4's Last Words[]

VR G4 Last Words
Video record extracted from a wreck.
An incomplete message sent from one member of the
Redguns to another, apparently just before death.
----------------
Iguazu, I'm telling you, man, you gotta give Michigan
a chance. He's different from the suits at HQ.

Look, I know he's an asshole, but he's looking out for
us, you know? Almost like we got a family here, heh.

Man, if there's anyone who deserves punching out,
it's the freaks who sent us on this suicide mission.
You picked a good day to go AWOL... Wish I—


BAWS Guard's Last Words[]

VR BAWS Guard's Last Words
Video record extracted from a wreck.
It seems that a guard stationed at BAWS Arsenal No. 2
was shot dead by an unknown aggressor.
----------------
You're just on edge, man.
BAWS supplies MTs to the off-world corps, too.
No one would ever touch this arsenal.

Gotta move as many units as we can to bankroll Elcano.
That's the only way we Rubiconians stand a...

What was that? The connection's—


The Collector's Last Words[]

VR Collector's Last Words
Video record extracted from a wreck.
An AC that infiltrated Grid 086 appears to have
been received by an RaD welcoming party.
----------------
Wait! Let's not do anything hasty!

I'm no one, okay? I'm just a lowly debt collector.
I didn't know this was your turf, I swear!

The guy I'm after, he's a tricky one.
He could be hiding anywhere in the Grid by now...

Wait—no, please!
You don't have to kill me!


Testing New Components[]

VR Testing New Components
Video record extracted from a wreck.
One can see performance tests of an unpiloted AC.
An officer's voice can be heard in the background.
----------------
I see no significant difference in performance compared
to what an AI can achieve... How very disappointing.
This experiment was another failure, then.

Regardless, I will have answers. The arrival of ACs
brought the age of unpiloted craft to an end...
but what essential difference makes them superior?

Send a message to the Factory.
Have them leave the torso intact next time.


The Fires of Ibis[]

VR The Fires of Ibis
Video record extracted from a wreck.
Includes audio of what may be the last words spoken
by Prof. Nagai, the Rubicon Research Institute director.
----------------
12 minutes remain, I have done all that I must.

I alone shall bear the burden of watching
the Fires of Ibis burn.

Whatever future awaits the boy, I hope he grows
into a man strong enough to seize it.

I have friends in the Jupiter colonies...
Surely they will look after him.


Comms Records[]

Friendly Comms[]

CR Friendly Comms
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
This appears to be a conversation between allies
prior to the start of a mission.
----------------
We can't beat the top Vespers.
We're as good as dead...

At least Ziyi is off duty.
She's the Liberation Front's little sister...

She doesn't deserve to be out there on the battlefield.
She can still love, and be loved... Have a family...


Rusty's Encoded Comms[]

CR Rusty's Encoded Comms
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Contains leftover data from an attempt to intercept
V.IV Rusty's encrypted line.
----------------
When......me comes...urlong will...technology...
Elcano.
You must...hidden...then.


Message for Uncle[]

CR Message for Uncle
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Appears to have been left by an RLF messenger who
infiltrated earlier but was killed by the corporations.
----------------
I have to get this back to Uncle!

Furlong agreed to provide technological assistance.
Now the new model can finally be completed...

He has to know—before those two destroy each other!


Doser Ravings[]

CR Doser Ravings
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Appears to be a leftover log of chatter between allies.
----------------
Those Coral mealworms... They're just kinda...y'know.

Buncha crap is what they are! A teeny tiny shot of
Coral diluted all the way down until there's damn near
nothing left! No one's getting high off that!

That's why we're different. You gotta take Rubicon's
blessings raw... Oh man, there's nothing like it!

Damn right. Hits your brain with a pop and a sizzle.


Doser Chatter[]

CR Doser Chatter
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Appears to be a leftover log of chatter between allies.
----------------
Wanna hear something wild? Turns out those big shots
at the PCA who run the satellites take their orders from
an AI. They're working for a computer, man!

What? Ha, guess you're right.
Then again...we're not too different there, huh.

Yeah, but at least Chatty follows the boss's orders.
S'pose he's just programmed that way, though...


Coyote Chatter[]

Comms Record- Coyote Chatter
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Appears to be a leftover log of chatter between allies.
----------------
I dunno about our new boss... Think we can trust him?

You think Carla's better? She's got the nerve to call
herself a freakin' Cinder. Nice try, lady, but you're a
little young for that stolen valor.

Man. Are those people at RaD full of shit or what?


Independent Merc Comms[]

CR Independent Merc comms
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Evidence of independent mercenaries sharing
intelligence with one another.
----------------
Looks like the PCA inspectors are on the move.
Make sure the "four" know.

As for the other corps, well...
Melinite and Takigawa don't seem too ambitious.
All they care about is selling their products.

Furlong, though... They're pretending to be neutral,
but you know those crafty foxes would never make a
move out in the open.


Enforcement Squad Comms[]

CR Enforcement squad comms
Comms record extracted from a wreck.
Appears to be information shared between members
of an enforcement squad.
----------------
We do what the notice from the System tells us.
For now, focus on mopping up the corporate forces.

Make sure to keep an eye on the independent
mercenaries, too.

We have Branch to thank for causing this mess...

No doubt they've landed on Rubicon.


Observation Data[]

Coral Density Survey[]

OD Coral Density Survey
Observation data extracted from a survey drone.
Contains records of surface-level Coral density at
the Central Ice Field.
----------------
No major change in values compared to readings
recorded in the Belius region.

Likely to be cinders from the Fires of Ibis.
Inert Coral readings make up 80% of the total.

Analysis underway of the remaining 20%.


Installation Survey[]

OD Installations Survey
Observation data extracted from a survey drone.
Contains records about old bases scattered across
the Central Ice Field.
----------------
Most of these installations appear to have been built
by the Planetary Closure Administration after the
Fires of Ibis.

They must have been made redundant by the subsequent
completion of the Closure System. That said, with a bit
of elbow grease, we might be able to repurpose these
old ruins...


Offshore Survey[]

OD Offshore Survey
Observation data extracted from a survey drone.
Contains records about an attempted video survey of
the ocean near the Central Ice Field.
----------------
Our video data of the ocean region has a noticeable
gap. Stranger still, this hole in our records remains
regardless of how many drones we send.

What's going on here?
Some kind of camera interference?


Terrain Survey[]

OD Terrain Survey
Observation data extracted from a survey drone.
Contains an analysis of a surface-level scan of the
Central Ice Field.
----------------
Sonar's picking up something strange—whatever it is,
you can't miss it.

Some kind of massive cave, perhaps?

...How could there be a cavity underneath this vast
sheet of ice?


The City of Xylem[]

OD The city of Xylem
Observation data extracted from a survey drone.
Perhaps this was recorded by Handler Walter's "friend."
----------------
Xylem remains fully operational.

The Planetary Closure Administration did their best
to hide the place, but I'll find a way there soon
enough...

The only ones who know are the PCA, and—


Wave Mutation Detected[]

OD Wave Mutation Detected
Observation data extracted from an AC of unknown
affiliation.
Appears to have once been heavily encoded, then
cracked by a third party.
----------------
A wave mutation has been detected.
It's happening.

The aging mercenary is the ideal candidate to serve
as the trigger...
We must now bring the third factor into play.


Blind Spots[]

OD Blind Spots
Observation data extracted from an AC of unknown
affiliation.
Appears to have once been heavily encoded, then
cracked by a third party.
----------------
The aftereffects of the Fires of Ibis are causing
anomalies that frustrate attempts to observe a
number of sites.

The Central Ice Field is dotted with many such
"blind spots"—areas that cannot be observed off-planet.

The PCA would be keen to exploit these.
We'll surely find the first Watchpoint there.


The Enforcement System[]

OD The Enforcement System
Observation data extracted from an AC of unknown
affiliation.
Appears to have once been heavily encoded, then
cracked by a third party.
-----------------
The Enforcement System had been buried deep within
Rubicon all this time. Little wonder that the
suppression fleet was so quick to arrive..

For now, we shall monitor the Observers' actions...
and provide indirect aid to Arquebus.


Text Data[]

Dolmayan's Writings (1)[]

TD Dolmayan Writings 1
Text data extracted from a wreck.
This appears to come from the writings of
Thumb Dolmayan, Father of the Liberation Front.
----------------
The Coral is Rubicon's blessing.

The land is frail and withered, yet within lurks
limitless abundance—and just a single drop grants
us our flesh and blood.

Coral, abide with Rubicon!


Dolmayan's Writings (2)[]

TD Dolmayan Writings 2
Text data extracted from a wreck.
This appears to come from the writings of
Thumb Dolmayan, Father of the Liberation Front.
----------------
How long has it been since I first "saw" her voice?

"Fear not," she said. "There will always be plenty."
She told me this, as I was imbibing Rubicon's blessings
one fateful day...

"If I were you, I'd never allow this," I replied.
And I was forever ashamed by my deceit.


Dolmayan's Writings (3)[]

TD Dolmayan Writings 3
Text data extracted from a wreck.
This appears to come from the writings of
Thumb Dolmayan, Father of the Liberation Front.
-----------------
"Symbiosis."
She seemed to be contemplating the meaning of the
word...

This moment of happiness we share comes at the cost
of her siblings—sacrifices all.

Is that symbiosis? Surely not...


Dolmayan's Writings (4)[]

TD Dolmayan Writings 4
Text data extracted from a wreck.
This appears to come from the writings of
Thumb Dolmayan, Father of the Liberation Front.
----------------
As always, she whispers to me from inside.
She tells me that she found something in the journals
of Institute City...something about the potential for
symbiosis.

"Coral Release..."

If such a thing is truly possible, then perhaps I can
join her on the other side...


Dolmayan's Writings (5)[]

TD Dolmayan's Writings (5)
Text data extracted from a wreck.
This appears to come from the writings of
Thumb Dolmayan, Father of the Liberation Front.
----------------
She says that she will respect my wishes.

If I cross this threshold, tragedy will befall the
world of mankind. Yet if I do not...

Here I stand, too afraid to cast the die.


Professor Nagai's Log (1)[]

TD Professor Nagai's log 1
Text data extracted from a wreck.
The lost auto-transcription for a voice log recorded by
Prof. Nagai, the Rubicon Research Institute director.
----------------
Coral is an organic substance capable of
self-propagation. The speed at which it proliferates
is determined by the density of the colony.
As such, a vacuum would provide an ideal environment
to maximize Coral density and thus growth.

However, one must not overlook the signs of mutations
within the Coral brought about by this density effect;
it is mutations such as these that will bring about
a collapse that humanity has no hope of controlling.


Professor Nagai's Log (2)[]

TD Professor Nagai's log 2
Text data extracted from a wreck.
The lost auto-transcription for a voice log recorded by
Prof. Nagai, the Rubicon Research Institute director.
----------------
Assistant No. 1 has lost his mind.
His research has utterly consumed him.

Granted, there may be some logic to C-Pulse sensory
augmentation of human subjects—but no ethical scholar
would ever dare cross that point of no return.

Mankind is driven mad by possibilities.
What does Coral represent, if not sheer potential?


Professor Nagai's Log (3)[]

TD Professor's Writings (3)
Text data extracted from a wreck.
The lost auto-transcription for a voice log recorded by
Prof. Nagai, the Rubicon Research Institute director.
----------------
I have decided that Assistant No. 1's son is to remain
at the lab. He's a reticent one—tough, too, beyond his
years. And now, our research has robbed him of his
mother and driven his father mad. He has every right
to hate me...

Perhaps Assistant No. 2 will be able to help.
She does seem to have a knack for assembling toys...
I hope that at least she can give him something to
smile about.


Professor Nagai's Log (4)[]

TD Professor Nagai's log 4
Text data extracted from a wreck.
The lost auto-transcription for a voice log recorded by
Prof. Nagai, the Rubicon Research Institute director.
----------------
No—
The Coral tide is rising at an abnormal rate!

This resonance—it suggests some kind of mutation...
Run the calculations. How much time do we have?

47 hours, 2 minutes, 16 seconds.

We still have time.
Deploy Ibis!


Professor Nagai's Log (5)[]

TD Professor Nagai's log 5
Text data extracted from a wreck.
The lost auto-transcription for a voice log recorded by
Prof. Nagai, the Rubicon Research Institute director.
----------------
There is no averting the ruin that awaits both
the Institute and Rubicon itself.
I must now concern myself with what follows.

The data shows signs of wave mutation...
Observation must continue.

Assistant No. 2 is our only remaining hope.
Though it pains me, I have no choice but to pass the legacy
of our sins onto her—my own student.


The Well Dries[]

TD The Well Dries
Text data extracted from a wreck.
Appears to be the auto-transcription for a voice log
recorded by an off-duty pilot.
----------------
The well we found in Gallia is going to dry up sooner
than later...

We just can't harvest as much Coral as we used to, and
what little we do get, the corps squeeze out of us.

They know we need it to raise mealworms.

How many more children must we watch starve...?


The Re-education Center[]

TD The Re education Center
Text data extracted from a wreck.
Makes reference to the Arquebus Re-education Center.
----------------
• To facilitate smooth progress of the Coral response
survey, a temporary branch of AREC is to be
installed on Rubicon.
• Primary subjects are to be Rubiconist POWs.
Re-education of hostile corporate assets
permissible as the situation dictates.
• Subjects who are resistant to re-education and
who possess a certain degree of combat skill are
to be processed according to the relevant
procedures and transferred to the Factory.

managed to sneak in a sketch without being noticed.

• "The fool won't pay back what he owes," one said.


STV Sketch (6)[]

Branch Screenshot 2023-09-02 15-51-58
A sketch by STV, a masked battlefield artist said by
some to be one of the last artists to dedicate his
career to the art of hand-drawn portraits. His works
command a high value among collectors in the know.
----------------
//STV's notes
• These independent mercenaries are members of a
group of four (one serves as an operator). Weren't
willing to answer many questions.

• Never got to meet the group's fourth merc, either.


STK Sketch[]

STK SKETCH
A sketch by the famed artist STK, who perished half
a century ago during the Fires of Ibis.
His style was assimilated by AI artists, and with
time mimicry supplanted the real technique.
----------------
//Notes (STK)
• Prof., two assistants, boy
• Assistant 1's heading for a breakdown
• Boy's sharper than he looks
