With their short time lingering around here, Jackie could give the same treatment she gave Kane. She'd pull herself up and start stretching her arms and legs, doing a full warmup routine. When she managed to pull back up from a few standing legs stretches, she points her gaze back onto Cipher while doing some final torso twists. Limber up a bit, the like.
"Sounds good to me. Now, I'm unsure just how much ya know about ki. I'll just reiterate for good measure. Ki is your life energies, the culmination of your soul and body expressing itself in the universe. Alongside a few other ways to interact with the world such as magic and more mundane physics, it's what represents your presence. Your raw, unfettered strength. All living beings have it, from the squirrel to the man, and yes, even to conscious beings like you or other androids. Even planets live and give off this energy."
She prepped him with some talk first, finalizing her warmup before opening a hand and holding it out between them, palm up to the skies before a single spark seems to ignite a lingering flame. A small puff that could be controlled.
"Most ki is unbound, free to cause whatever force it can apply to the surroundings. What many in traditional martial arts accomplish is a meditative state that seeks to put a cap on that energy-"
The other hand goes to hover over this flame, still burning but now shrunk down from the influence.
"This, is Ki Suppression. Fine-tune control over your life signature. It can allow you to hide your true strength, and even hide from the ability to sense such presence. Mastery can even flip this on and off in an instant. The biggest hurdle will be trying to find that state of mind that works for you to control your life force. You see, this 'meditative state' is an oversimplified relic of a time that most Earthlings only had this tradition to help their strength. Everyone is actually different in what reigns they can pull on their energy, and I found the likes of Kane and yourself, artificial beings with a certain detachment and reattachment between body and soul, to be extra difficult. Especially if they are powered differently as well."
