Ugh, we're so busy all the time but we really should hang out with him again.
yoooo lol.
This mental image.
[] To travel as a group for the initial scouting. This would slow them down, but allow her to get a better feel for her team and a more comprehensive feel for the region before taking care of individual issues.
[] To have her subordinates scout as a group while she split off to surveil the more notably dangerous regions on her own. Somewhat risky due to potential ecology changes, but balances speed and comprehensiveness.
Leaning on these 2nd too I think. I think team cohesiveness and know how to order them around is most important to get out of the way first.

This;
[] To have her subordinates scout as a group while she split off to surveil the more notably dangerous regions on her own. Somewhat risky due to potential ecology changes, but balances speed and comprehensiveness.
Feels like dismissing her subordinates as a burden and liability, which is no way to lead a unit
A leader needs to be with her troops to lead them, if LQ goes off on her own to scout ahead she wouldn't be learning about her units dynamics, their strengths and weaknesses, or how they operate
She'd just be off doing her own thing
remember

For all that Liao Zhu was joking
These are just the dangerous absurdities. And Liao Zhu will be purely reactionary.
The Sect arent the only party that'll be paying attention to how she handles this

I'm against the riskier Split Up option on principle, otherwise I don't have much of an opinion honestly. I'll leave that to other people.

Ayyyyyyy. Im glad to see the legend of Qi the Thirsty is continuing to spread
Given how Ling Qi is not alway sneaky about her gawking makes sense Moon Ninja Senpai would notice his shy junior sister burning his abs into her memory

So how good are we at empowering our group? Can we buff them enough to be relevant at a our level fight?

He knows. And he's enjoying hmself immensely under that mask. Ling Qi must find a way to get back at him.Operation Playful Revenge is in motion, starting now.
Also, I am leaning toward this.

The minions are old. Bet they did such scouting missions before. Let's make use of that experience.
They are not allowed to spread and scatter until we know them wellenough to know they can handle it. Perhaps an overly cautious move, but we won't make a blunder like this, and we wil lget a feel of their strengths and weaknesses, and how they work as a team. After that ,we can give tailored orders to each of them, and send them t owhere they will be most useful. Plus, we may actually make some friends, and prove ourselves a reliable, nice leader.

Splitting seems like a bad idea.
1. We will not have access to the experience of our troops
2. We will not be there to aid our troops if something goes wrong
3. We will seem to be seeking glory instead of doing our job as an officer
no, take it slow, learn to know our troops, make a better plan of action afterwards.

This seems particularly relevant in this scenario. At least until we know what dangers and changes we can be expecting.
It's so classically Ling Qi to get a challenge meant to be seemingly unmeetable and not even notice before the handlers decide that a late Green is the only thing that could feasibly make a difference. She just goes past it like it's trivial.

Guess this being a learning exercise we'll learn how to lead best by sticking with the group, benefiting from their experience and gaining practice working alongside subordinates. I'm sure if they look to be too far behind what they need to get through, LQ can reevaluate the procedure.
Its even funnier cuz Guan Zhi is Cyan

Yep.
Emphasis mine.
It was later revealed that Guan Zhi was not actually the daughter of Elder Zhou, but rather his niece.

It is not speed that matters in a standard patrol, but diligence and vigilance. The idea is to create not a speeding searchlight akin to those strange metal vehicles of our world screaming down streets, but an area lit as if by a lantern.
Moving quickly is for rapid-response teams, our job as the steady patrol is to check everything in our path.
That's my read on this situation at any rate.

Gotta get a feel for how our group operates before we can send them off on their own

When you don't know what you're doing, and Ling Qi really doesn't, going slow is the best way to avoid screwing up. Not a negative.

I think we need the leadership training offered by this choice

TRF and HDW have support aspects, mostly defensive. FVM and PLR are ally friendly and FVM's debuff in particular helps allies hit and avoid. That said we aren't really as good at support as a real commander, in particular we lack an AC-style buff to pile onto a single dangerous enemy. We are absolutely lethal in swinging a group vs group fight though.
