The 21 Underpass Exploration documents in Control Resonant are the reports and audio logs left by the FBC expedition that disappeared below the Sinkhole. You’ll pick up 19 of them during Recursions and Iterations, and the last two in a forgotten part of the Oldest House that opens during the Maintenance Protocol side quest. If you remember the game as Control 2, open the Underpass map of the Spire’s red roof to find the first one.

Map Master’s founder, Vlad Susanu, played through both quests to collect all 21, and you can reach every other zone from the Control Resonant maps for every zone. Four of the logs only appear after you meet Dr. Grist or Ayad, so the order you explore in matters more here than in most sets.
Most of the set comes from four people. Dr. Grist wrote six, Dr. Steinbeck five, Agent Schultz five, and Malik Ayad two. The other three are FBC paperwork: a requisition form nobody finished, and two decades-old documents about the depths below the Oldest House and its shape.
Read them together and you get the expedition’s slow collapse. Steinbeck tracks the team’s memory problems until she sees herself and calls it liberating, Grist watches the Patterning get worse while Black Rock fails to stop it, and Schultz ends on his final message. The same team left the 15 Underpass Accounts logs, so the two sets tell one story across 36 documents.
The first three are on your way in. You’ll find two on the Spire’s roof, including the unfinished requisition form, and Ayad’s first engineering log at the small camp on the stone block southwest of it. From there you head into the Research Sites, where the first office has the Underpass Wardrobe and two of Grist’s files, with Steinbeck’s first report nearby.
The southern Research Site has the most at four, all about the radio failure, memory loss, and the Patterning. The western site adds three more about morale and the team’s state of mind, and the third and fourth sites start with one each. Check every office at each site before you follow the next objective.
These four don’t exist until the story puts them there. Schultz Expedition Log #2 appears behind the main site’s offices after you first talk to Grist, and Notes On Patterning/Spacetime appears on the table behind her once you find her on the third site’s terrace. Our Memories Aren’t The Problem shows up in the western office at the same point.
Grist Research Log #3 is the last of the four, and it only appears in the western site after you meet Ayad. Look for it after you’ve restored the power with the Power Core Stations at the Research Site office. The NPC stops for Grist and Ayad show where you meet each of them.
The Roots Of The Oldest House? and On The Oldest House’s Form are behind the “Old” Oldest House Locked Door, which you only pass during the Maintenance Protocol side quest. That quest opens after Zoe’s Briefing, late in the story, so these two are always the last files you add to the set.
They’re also the oldest documents in it. Both are decades-old FBC theories about what lies beneath the Oldest House and what shape it really has, which makes them a fitting end to an expedition that went looking for the same answers. Grab the Resource Crate in the same corridor too, since it pays nearly 200 Source.
Collect the route files as you go, then circle back after each meeting. Fifteen need nothing but Recursions and Iterations, four appear as you meet Grist and Ayad, and two wait for Maintenance Protocol, so if your count stops at 19, that side quest is the reason.
You can return to the Underpass after the credits, so a missed log isn’t lost. If one of the four timed logs is missing, go back to the site where it should appear rather than searching new ground, since each one spawns somewhere you’ve been before.
