The Directive 8020 Anomaly Log Number is a code that opens a control panel and reveals a secret in Episode 5, Mr Williams. The code is hidden behind an encrypted message.
Let’s see what you must do to discover the code!
How to Find the Directive 8020 Anomaly Log Number
Soon after starting the Radio Silence turning point in Episode 5, you will come across a control panel displaying the “Anomaly Log Number Required” message on the screen. You need to find the code and input it using the keypad to read the secret log.
How to Find and Decipher the Anomaly Log Code
Head through the door next to the control panel and follow the corridor to reach the Cockpit.

Look around the Cockpit and spot the note on the left side of the console, next to the chair.

The note says Anomaly log code CAIF. To find the Directive 8020 Anomaly Log Number, you must decipher the code. Don’t waste your time looking for hints. There are no other clues to help you decode the message. What you must do is use the letters/numbers substitution method. Assign each letter a number, corresponding to its place in the alphabet. A is 1, B is 2, and so on. Using this method, we can translate the CAIF code to 3196. Return to the control panel and input the 3196 code to access the log.

This log is a secret collectible. Don’t forget that you must scroll through all the screens for the secret to count as unlocked.
