Lily was a quiet girl who rarely spoke. Her absolute favorite places on the ship were the library and the research laboratories.
She loved to lose herself in thought in these quiet spaces, sometimes spending an entire day just sitting there or rather, a whole day working in her own head. Her mind would race, continuously calculating the design schematics and operational parameters of a new cutting robot.
The library offered a tranquil sanctuary for everyone to study, with people coming and going in total silence. There weren't many physical books here, wood pulp was a precious commodity, so the vast majority of the collection consisted of e-books. The administration only printed a small, strictly rationed number of physical books each day to maintain a sense of culture and literary atmosphere.
She sat there simply because the absolute quiet soothed her.
