Learning to use a staff could be useful. I'm not sure where I'd find a staff to use, but I'm still interested, if you don't mind teaching someone without any experience.

[Li is open to anything that allows her to better protect people here. She likes the idea of using her skills to help others, and while staffs aren't the most conventional weapon, she can see how it'd be useful in a variety of situations. It's worth attempting. The learning curve might be steep, but Li has never backed down from a challenge before.]

Unfortunately, I'm not very well-educated or scientifically minded. The only thing I can contribute much to is the combat-oriented aspects of missions, really.
