Sounds good; that's p much exactly what I assumed for the electronics. 

As for lore I think it's up to what you want! 

Having to discover it all in game sounds sort of fun, but it may also be limiting or cause a need for lore-dumps. So whichever way you think works best I'll go with. 

Having the references can also be neat! 

SilerPaw's idea of starting out with basic info then filling in more as we learn in-game could be a good middle ground.
