[Did that sound like doubt? She's not trying to be dismissive; it's just a sound for a lack of response. Erika reaches over and takes her two pillows and casts them onto the floor with only a little bit of care.]
To be honest, I don't know how useful this will be. [She unfolds her legs and slips off the bed.] As far as looking into the station goes, others and I were making a lot of progress, then hit a serious wall. More newbies doesn't solve that problem. [And sits on one of the pillows. The second, unoccupied pillow is a silent solution to the problem.] But on a personal level, knowing something is better than nothing. You won't be able to track that blank-sender message we got, but you'll know what not being able to track it means without having to beg third parties for explanations.
[She phrases it that way because she values that. And perhaps that's revealing; materially, she's offering instruction, but semantically, she's offering not usefulness but advantage.
If you want to think of it that way.
Anyways.]
Unless there's something you're more interested in being able to do. Hinata is learning how to recreate old arcade games. A lot of skills are common across areas of expertise, so I don't think there's a "wrong" starting point.
