In this scene, for those who got the privilege of seeing it before it was taken down off YouTube, once the Engineer escaped the crashed [i]Juggernaut[/i], he locates and enters the crashed Life Boat looking for Shaw.
Once inside, we see he stops to look at the transmission of a young girl playing the Violin (That recording we saw in the beginning of the film). He reaches out his hand with and looks as if the music is affecting him in a humble way. The next still we [url=/news/357]recently discovered[/url] reveals the Engineer reading a book found inside the crashed Life Boat. (See below)

What do you think this could insinuate about the Engineers? WHy do you think he was so taken back by the music and why do you think he took interest in the book?
