At a large barn in Earthrealm, Jackson Briggs - now in a farmer's outfit, with his cybernetic arms clearly visible - walks over to the tractor with a screwdriver in hand. He begins to work away on the tractor's motor when Sonya walks in to the barn.
Sonya: Your wife told me I'd find you in here.
Jax doesn't take his eyes off the tractor.
Jax: You and Vera have a nice chat?
Sonya: Always.
Jax says nothing and walks over to the barn's toolbench. Sonya walks toward the tractor to get a better look
Sonya: Is that a National? I haven't seen one this-
Jax: You didn't come to here to discuss farm implements.
He walks back to the tractor, still not looking at Sonya.
Sonya: All right. I'll cut to the chase. I need your help.
Jax: My help?
Sonya: I know. I don't have any right to-
Jax: You knew what I wanted.
Sonya: Jacqui volunteered. She came to me.
Jax says nothing for a moment, and then lets out a long sigh.
Jax: I know.
Sonya: Listen, I get why you didn't want Jacqui joining S-F. Why you retired. I mean, if I had to live with memories of being one of Quan Chi's thugs? I would've eaten a gun a long time ago.
Jax: Well, you know Vera.
He finally turns to look at her.
Jax: She never would've allowed that.
Sonya actually gives a chuckle at this comment.
Jax: So what is it you need help with? The Outworld refugees?
Sonya: Worse. Shinnok's Amulet. Rain has it.
Jax: Damn.
Sonya: And we've gotten word from Sareena that Quan Chi has resurfaced in the Netherrealm.
Jax: He shows his face after twenty-five years... just as Shinnok's Amulet is in play. That's not a coincidence.
Sonya: That's why I need you. You're Quan Chi expertise. We wouldn't reactive your commission. You'd be an observer.
Jax looks to be considering the offer, but his face suddenly turns into a frown as he spots Johnny Cage walking up to them both.
Jax: Cage.
Johnny: Jax.
Sonya: What is it?
Johnny: Just wanted to see if maybe-
Jax: You could help close the deal? Yeah, because that worked out so well last time.
Johnny: Can't blame a guy for trying.
Sonya does her level best to ignore Johnny and get Jax back on track.
Sonya: We need you, Jax. Help me capture Quan Chi. None of us is safe if he gets near that amulet.
Jax says nothing for a few moments, but finally relents.
Jax: So where's Jacqui in all this?
Sonya: Outworld. With Cassie's team recovering the amulet.
Jax lets out a loud sigh.
Johnny: She'll be fine. We expect to hear "mission accomplished" from them soon.
