[Li is reluctant to do this. Starting social interactions is not her forte even in the best of times, and this is very assuredly not that. Regardless, she turns on the video, takes a breath, and steels herself to try to communicate clearly and concisely.]

Hello. My name is Ya-Jing Li. Li, if you want to be formal. I'm new here and I... [what's a way to put this that doesn't make her sound dim-witted?] I'm a bit lost on what to do. Usually I operate with more of a plan than this. I think it would be wise to develop some kind of training regime so I can maintain my combat capabilities, but I'm unsure what to do with the rest of my time here. Suggestions would be appreciated.

And if anyone remembers me from the, um, dream, from before? I would like to hear from you, just to know you made it out alright.

Hello Li. I train with a few others with similar abilities to mine; what was your combat training like before?

[ She doubts this girl is from her own galaxy, but she understands completely about not wanting to lose one's skills. She hasn't gotten her lightsaber back yet and so her staff is getting a real workout of late. ]

I was trained in hand-to-hand combat, proficiency with knives, climbing, long-jumps, high-jumps and in dodging enemy fire. I don't know how to use guns and my weapons training has been limited to knives, but I'm open to learning other things if anyone is available to teach me.

Guns aren't really my thing, but we do have blasters back home which are similar, and I can teach you to use a staff if you like. My weapon of choice isn't here at the moment, either.

[ Not that it would do much good to train anyone else in how to use a lightsaber unless they could make them here in any quantity. Theoretically they could be made to respond to those with no Force training at all, especially since kyber crytals aren't likely to be easily sourced here -- but it's a feat of technology she'd have to consult with others here about. ]

My name's Rey, by the way. Don't worry if it takes you a little while to get acclimated; not every mission is combat-oriented.

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.

I've got a spare one you can use. They're not difficult to make, so if you find you like it I can help you source the parts to make it sturdier and more your own.

[ Rey still had a particular fondness for using hers, even though it wasn't really necessary even without her lightsaber. They had swords available, and blaster-like weapons. They were fine; she could use them in a pinch. But they weren't familiar, and she wouldn't feel confident teaching anyone how to use them outside of an emergency. ]

Don't worry about that. I was never formally educated either. There's time to learn what you need to know if you'd like to be useful in other ways.
