I think it was simply for character notes for David. Because there was no other purpose. Might I add, I think it is funny that this ship is so much more sophisticated than the ones in the Alien universe thus far. It makes me laugh.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Someone came up with an SMS conversation between Dr Shaw and an Engineer, presumably while she's in flight to the homeworld. Needless to say, MASSIVE SPOILERS

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, hee. "All will be revealed in James Cameron's PROMETHEUSES."

I feel so much better about wasting two hours of my life now that I've read that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit, I just had some Matt Bomer animated GIFs from Magic Mike, and I don't know where they are anymore...
Looks like Channing's not playing the Magical Mike--that's Pettyfer's character. But, still, I think it's a rental for me.

Er, I'd say your sentence before needs a little whitefonting too.
"All will be revealed in James Cameron's PROMETHEUSES."
I was going to make that joke! Damn you, Internet!
I just got back from Prometheus. I enjoyed it, but it didn't make a lick of sense.
I did like that Dr. Shaw was like, "I am fucking sick of women being impregnated with alien babies! I AM CUTTING THIS SHIT OUT OF ME MYSELF." Although, as already discussed, it didn't make a lick of sense.

Prometheus Unbound: What The Movie Was Actually About.
May be reading too much into it, but some interesting stuff in there, especially regarding why the Engineers were wiped out two thousand years ago.
