Val sighed, she spent a lot of time doing this, sighing. She had no reason not to sigh as she poured over book after book, learning everything she could about the world, Val was a scientist, she loved reading and she loved learning new things but it got tedious after a while, the whole reason she joined the marauders was because she wanted adventure, now she was sitting in her bedroom on the ship reading a book about nanotechnology, learning about atoms and matters, next she would read about engineering, then maybe she was re-read her advanced neurotechnology books, they were her favorite even though she understood the brain completely, it was feelings she didn't understand. But, she guessed, she should be socializing, she didn't like it very much, people made her nervous, unlike most people from her planet she was quiet and nervous, not pompous and rude. 
But, she needed to get to know the people on her ship better, if she was going to be here for a long time she needed to learn to talk to people, how do you start a conversation? How do you [i]talk[/i] to people? Walk up and say hello? No, that's weird, a random person coming up and saying "Hi!", do you introduce yourself? "Hello, I'm Val, and-", and what?
She really had [b]no[/b] idea how to talk to people. 
Let them talk to you then? Yes, she would wait for someone else to introduce themselves, that was a lot easier. Glad she had that figured out. 
She stood up (grabbing a few of her books) and walked out, she didn't know [i]where[/i] she was going exactly, she was basically wandering around aimlessly, hoping to find someone.
