Steve isn't sure what he's done lately for God to smile down on him like that, but he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He asked the replicator for a hamburger and got a notepad instead. Most people wouldn't be happy with the trade-off, but after he finally gets something edible out of the machine, he wolfs it down so his body can stop demanding food and he can focus on the gift of paper.
Paper is a gift in this place.
There was a pencil in his room when he moved in, and he's made sure to put it aside for when he could make use of it, so he grabs it now and walks over to the observation deck. The one he goes to most often, the one where he first met Sharon, and where she told him everything about her Steve. He likes familiar places that resonate with memories.
Once there, he sits at the back of the room, his back to the wall, and starts to write. He writes about what it's like on the Proserpina, and he draws a quick map of his quarters. Then he starts to write about the people, starting with his team, and of course it's too tempting to draw each of them. And then he starts to draw Sharon, because she's come to matter about as much as them, and he wants to call her team. He's so absorbed in what he's doing that he doesn't even realize when somebody walks in, and up to him.
