Heya! There aren't really any sorts of public writeups for the lore, but we do have private documents to help us keep track of it all.
When it comes to the prologue boss fight, there is a way to 'win' it by defeating each of the Engineers that are generating her shield. There's a trick to defeating them since you can't just attack them yourself. If you 'win' the fight you get a nice little reward but the storyline continues essentially the same.
