Nico can't remember having ever truly 'settled in', but he pulled together more of a routine. He goes through the communicator. He tries to have at least one meal in the dining room. He's usually kind of hunched in a corner, but it's better than just eating ration bars in his cabin.

He spends a lot of time in the engine room (after all, since Shen Wei takes the time to escort him it would be impolite to do less). Besides, he finds it a peaceful place to sit and tinker or simply take it in, letting the details fill his mind and putting together a range of pictures. Sometimes he'll play one of the games.

The library still holds a lot of his attention, too. The large stacks of books - tall enough for him to hide behind without too much effort - never grow smaller but the books themselves are always changing as he reads through them.

Nico is uncomfortable with people in general, and he's not good at hiding it. He tends to move too much or sit too still. He prefers not to look at them, and a good deal of his 'basic' conversation sounds like he was given the responses from a list. But he is trying.
