Fortunately Prometheus is capable of semantically understanding the totality of the order. The stated goal was prefaced with 'keep an eye on' not 'eliminate'. If she were to try to tell someone on the phone or by computer or what have you he would cut the connection and inform our protagonist. He'll also listen in on her in person conversations.
She's already at 100% of all the martial arts humankind has ever, or will ever, devise. She's probably even well-versed in such that she can't physically do, such as those from alien species whose body plans humans simply can't emulate. (All the better to counter them.)
She has absolutely no alien martial arts, which is perhaps a small clue for people who want to speculate.
My thoughts were meditation might allow some crazy stuff that is on the bleeding edge of martial arts so she could utilize it better or allow her to reach a higher threshold of understanding thus even greater skill
Biological reconstruction is a thing, so I'd imagine that someone with an altered body shape might have come up with something based on an alien form. Plus, y'know, a lot of the Case 53s, Changers, etc are likely based on aliens, so...
That would be her doing more with what she has, not having more to do it with.
That is an excellent question, isn't it?
That's not where she's getting her knowledgebase from, but your point does make sense - are there martial arts for unusual bodyplans to go with the prosthetics I know someone would have invented to have more limbs with, in this data dump?
Strictly human body shapes only, two arms, two legs, joints bend in the right directions, etc, although some of it relies on clearly augmented levels of durability, strength, or reflexes. Or assumes the same in an opponent.
Four charges in guns should get her couple of hundred of years past our time. Sport/recreational shooters of future may have some mind hack methods of decreasing quiver which are not exactly "skill", some kind of induced reverse phase quiver or something.
To the best of my knowledge, muscles in use have a certain amount of unavoidable quiver to them that's not under voluntary control as individual fibers relax and tense. (Blood moving around probably doesn't help either.) I'm not sure any mental technique could fix that without augmented biology.
What I mean is not voluntary control. If muscle quiver is not mostly random (I don't actually know if it is or not) it should have dominant frequency and phase. If they are estimated somehow it's looks plausible the amplitude could be affected with some actions - pressure at some points, micro-strike etc. Repurpose part of the brain specifically for that type of activity.
Hah, Taylor does get some Brute-fighting skills! ...But actually, follow-up question, are there plans for, like - "How To Give A Human A Tail" in the medical databanks? This is getting interesting...
There are limits to what can be done without having an enhanced physique as well, and nothing is going to win you a wrestling match with Alexandria, but yes, there is some wiggle room on the margins for stuff like employing leverage to overcome low level enhanced strength, or anticipating movements to compensate to a degree for enhanced speed, or going for vulnerable points to compensate somewhat for enhanced durability. (Brutes hate this one weird trick...)
This reminds me of something.
There are absolutely a lot of factors to balance, yeah. Also the psychological implications and the influence culture has.
Making major changes to humans is a fraught prospect, but there is a ton of room for giving Amy ideas for how to make useful alterations to other life forms. 'Here's a tomato that cures infections with super antibiotics', etc.
She was a school bully when the fight started. Once the powers came out? She was someone who has extensive experience of getting into fights with armed, adult, and physically violent criminals. Taylor was not supposed to know about her powers or experience of fighting people with probably lethal intent, so that should have been enough of a surprise to count as an ambush. From ambush, Shadow Stalker was able to fight off Emma's attackers, which, well, do you have the slightest idea how much Emma could have sued them for if they had been identified and successfully disfigured her?
