The Shelton Delacroix logs are a series of five holotapes that were cut from Fallout 3.
Although no holotape items exist for these logs, they are fully voiced and their transcripts can be found in the dialogue for the AudioHolotapes quest in the game's files. All five of the tapes' dialogue topics start with "MQ08SheltonTape;" MQ08 referring to Finding the Garden of Eden.

Is this thing on? Oh, yeah it is... I see the little needle moving. Ahem. I'm making these recordings as a diary of my life in one of Vault-Tec's newer vaults. They recommended we keep one, so I figured why not. But let me start at the beginning. My name is Shelton Delacroix, and I'm a security officer here in Vault 87. I'm assigned to the laboratory level, which sure beats babysitting the reactor room! Hopefully, in a few more months, I'll be allowed to learn a little more. It's all so hush hush. But that's the way things are around here. Anyway, I'm due on shift soon, so I'll record more later.

Things are getting a bit weird up here on the laboratory level. I swear I keep hearing these crazy noises coming from the experimentation chambers. When I asked about it they told me it's the animals they're testing on. What the heck are they doing to them? I think I may look into it some more. It gets boring standing in the hallways and pacing back and forth.

I... I don't know where to begin. I... have to report what I've seen. There has to be a record of this somewhere. Sykes and Cossler dragged some unconscious guy from the dorms into the labs. I tried to ask what was going on, but they just glared at me. After they came back out of the containment area, they told me not to tell anyone what I saw or I'd regret it. Sykes was even patting his 10 millimeter when he said that. I think they were threatening to kill me! After they left I snuck into the containment room, and... and I almost threw up. I don't even know how to describe it. It looked sort of human, but it was deformed... I could see some of its organs on the surface of its body like they were trying to push through. Its skin was... disgusting. Green and brown and bruised like it was bleeding on the inside. And the smell... it was horrible. I staggered out of there and came here to get this all down. What the hell are they doing in this place? Oh my god. It's all making sense. The missing people... and those things. They... they... oh my fucking god.

I'm in hiding now. I'm recording this in the reactor level. They found one of older recordings and now they want me in the labs. Luckily I had a friend in the security team and they told me to run. So here I am. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Merrick and his team are obviously experimenting on people. Someone's got to put a stop to it. But how? There's nowhere to go and no one to tell. Shit, what am I gonna... Oh my god. They're coming... I... Tell my wife in Dorm E that I love her... I...

Stupid machine... how you work this thing... this thing is stupid! Smash it!
