Audio logs made by the Scientist can be found detailing the Seven's relationship with The Paradigm. The first audio log is a message to the Paradigm, asking for her help despite whatever happened between her and the Seven. The second audio log is a broadcast on the Seven's secure channel saying that the Paradigm had pinged back after recieving the message.

	Paradigm. Uh, it's me. I'm-- I'm guessing you heard what happened.
	Obviously we had more ambitious goals than simply flipping the Island.
	That was just one step in a scrupulously planned attack that would've reduced the Imagined Order to a smoking crater, to put it mildly,
	But, the reality left us exposed and overextended.
	If-- if they manage a counter attack before we recover, it’s over. All of it.
	Look, I know our history is... complicated... but I want you to know I never lost faith in you.
	Okay, I did. But only for five minutes, maybe. Maybe a few weeks, tops. Uh...
	It's hard to believe that someone who went through what you went through would hold the line...
	But I-- I know you did. (sighs)
	So we really do not deserve your help right now, not at all, but we need it.

	This is the Scientist broadcasting on The Seven secure channel. At oh-four-hundred hours, we received a ping from The Paradigm.
	Still need to confirm authenticity and verify that we're not being hacked, spoofed, tricked, or otherwise deceived,
	But I believe it's the real deal.
	I know that among our ranks there are still some mixed feelings about The Paradigm
	But for the sake of survival we need to think of her as an ally.
	We are The Seven. We have a duty to rise above grudges and petty disagreements for the greater good.
	And yes, Foundation, I'm looking at you. I can see your face through that mask.
	Regardless of the past, there is no future without her.

	You may have noticed the... big guy’s new statue.
	No comment, by the way, but they definitely hired someone on discount.
	I need you to figure out who keeps vandalizing it.
	I suspect Loopers.
	Specifically, the big banana guys.

Audio	Subtitle
	Thank you. Very thoughtful for angling this camera at banana height.
	Oh man, look at that juicy lens flare.

	So, hey! We left some "wartime essentials" in the ol' endless void of space...
	So we’re launching a retrieval rocket.
	Problem is, somebody really doesn’t want us to do that.
	I have my suspicions about who that "someone" might be.
	Destroy all three signal jammers.

Audio	Subtitle
	WAIT! I CHANGED MY MIND!
	I'm just kidding.
	I knew I could trust you to destroy priceless scientific equipment. (whispering) I'll send you the bill.
	Nice work.
	Hey, if we find what we’re looking for up there...
	I’ll ask them to bring you a little space rock as a treat.

	So, our first rocket recon mission failed.
	But you know what they say...
	When one launchpad door closes, another one opens.
	...and behind that door, there’s a bigger rocket with more telescope parts in it.
	Which you will go and source for me.
	Right now.

Audio	Subtitle
	This is very exciting for you.
	This’ll really improve focusing power. Plus I can paint some racing stripes on it. I mean, not me. I know a guy.
	Yes!
	Watch out, guidance sensors! You're about to get a brand new internal magnet system. You're welcome.
	Hey, if we find what we’re looking for up there...
	Ugh. I love telescopes.
	I wish I had forever to build this one.
	But, you know, impending doom and all.

	You know the blonde dingdong in the suit, “Agent Jones”?
	Well, there’s more of him.
	And they’ve started their own society of dorks.
	So, how 'bout bring them some supplies as a peace offering...
	And then scout their camp to assess the threat level.

Audio	Subtitle
	Well look at that! A little drawing of Slone!
	And The Foundation!
	With knives pointing at them!
	It's probably nothing...
	Oh! Here’s what we’re looking for!
	A declaration of independence.
	They won’t fight for anyone anymore.
	So it seems like they’re disgruntled about being made to fight in a neverending loop. I get that.
	I've got an idea. Let's buy their loyalty.

	I’ve detected some unusual seismic activity.
	Maybe the Island has a nervous stomach after its little gymnastics routine.
	Or maybe it’s something worse.
	Would you mind hiking up those perilous, deadly mountains?
	I need you to check on my seismometers.
	Hey, do you mind making your heart beat a little quieter?
	It's kind of muddling my scan.
	I got my data, and you got your steps in. Win-win.
	A real scientist never admits when things aren’t looking good.
	They just say, “Huh, that’s different,” and quietly retreat to their lab to try and fix it.
	So… Huh, that’s different.

Trivia

A secret style for The Scientist was available if you went to the computer at Dusty Depot and interacted with it. This would unlock a white variant.
When the Scientist first came out, he could be unlocked for free without owning the Battle Pass. This glitch was patched a day after it's release. Epic didn't revoke the outfit if you did the challenges and didn't own the Battle Pass.
During the Chapter 2 Finale event the Scientist was seen using the white variant, rather than his default style.
