That sort of thing.

So it sounds to me like TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manul could possibly be doing a similar thing — a nonlinear biography of Sexy, as told through the various logs and amendments and footnotes of her instruction manual. But it's hard to judge from just the preview whether that is the case, or if the collection of data is just that.
