<h4>Chapter 246 Chapter 246 – Office Problems</h4>
With the Blood Hawk and the Blood Horse, Dark Dream now officially had ten Specters.
Within three years, Dark Dream had grown from one Specter to ten!
Even more, they also had 21 Zephyx Extractors, which was nothing to scoff at.
Back then, Cycle had seemed dangerous with their six Newbies and two Johns.
But now, Dark Dream had eight Johns and 13 Newbies.
Funnily enough, Dark Dream had even more Newbies than Kugelblitz.
Nick''s workload had also changed.
Back then, he had been working with all of their Specters, and he hadn''t needed to talk to his employees a lot since there hadn''t been many.
But now, Nick was having a meeting with his team leaders daily about the teams and the issues.
Naturally, the bigger thepany became, the more interpersonal issues cropped up.
One Extractor didn''t like how another Extractor talked to them.
An Extractor came a bitte, which made the other Extractor mad.
An Extractorined about another Extractor constantly criticizing them and telling them what to do even though they were not their superior.
On top of that, the issue of equipment and money also appeared more often.
Yes, the Extractors were earning insanely well in Dark Dreampared to other Manufacturers, but the fact that they had to buy their equipmentpletely on their own still left a bad taste in their mouths.
Some of the Extractors alsoined about the Specters they were assigned to.
Of course, theseints mostly came from the weaker Extractors.
There were three Late Newbies that Trevor had assigned to work with the Blood Horse, and these three were not happy in the slightest.
They had to fight for their lives every single day!
One mistake, and they could die!
Yes, there was always a stronger Extractor watching them from outside the Containment Unit, but they could still die!
These three all came from Ghosty''s Lab, and they believed that they were being treated unfairly.
Naturally, they also started talking to other Extractors, and they found some like-minded individuals.
The three Early Newbies from Gemini, who were dealing with the Blood Hawk, felt the same way.
They knew that being an Extractor was dangerous, but they were not supposed to risk their lives every single day!
Theints were piling up, and it was even possible that Dark Dream would get their first protest.
In the end, Nick decided to give them what they wanted.
The three Late Newbies got sent to work with the Fog.
The Fog was definitely one of the easier ones to work with.
It just took a lot of time and was very boring.
When the three of them heard that, they felt ted.
Finally, they didn''t have to risk their lives anymore!
Every one of them worked for 24 hours on the Fog, got two days off, and worked with it again.
In the beginning, they preferred this to fighting for their lives.
But after about two weeks, they became very annoyed.
They barely had any free time!
When they had been fighting the Blood Horse, they had been busy for one hour at most.
But now, they didn''t have time for anything anymore!
So, theyined again.
They wanted another Specter.
Nick didn''t argue and gave them the Dung Heap.
The Dung Heap didn''t need to get worked with, but it still produced Zephyx.
This meant that being near it still increased an Extractor''s power.
Since Dark Dream had so many people, they could spare three of them for the Dung Heap.
It didn''t even take a single day before the three of themined again.
The Dung Heap''s odor was terrifyingly bad!
Also, walking on it felt insanely dangerous.
At that point, Nick became annoyed.
He didn''t want to force the new employees to go through the same shit he did, but it was genuinely getting annoying.
After a talk with Wyntor, Nick decided to listen to them once more.
They don''t want to fight?
They don''t want to waste 24 hours every three days?
They didn''t want to get bored with nothing to do?
Fine!
Nick assigned them to the Dreamer.
By now, the Dreamer had be an Early Adolescent.
For three years, it hadn''t caused a single issue.
Ever since the incident with Horua, nothing bad had happened.
However, before he let them work with the Dreamer, Nick wanted them to sign new contracts.
In these contracts, they agreed to work with the Dreamer, even though Dark Dream did not think that it was a good idea to work with it.
Of course, before signing, they asked why they weren''t getting the Puppy. ording to what they had heard, working with the Puppy was the easiest.
Nick told them that they would be working with the Puppy anyway as soon as they became Peak Newbies and that everyone wanted to work with the Puppy.
He had to be fair in this regard.
In the end, they signed.
When Nick saw their signatures, he released a sigh.
He really didn''t like doing this.
When Nick had talked with Wyntor, Wyntor had said that he had expected something like this to happen.
They were treating their employees too well, which spoiled them.
Because of that, Wyntor decided on the quickest way to solve the issue.
Yes, the Dreamer hadn''t made issues in three years.
However, Dark Dream also hadn''t sent anyone weaker than it to work with it in three years.
Until now.
The most vocal of the three Extractors was sent to work with the Dreamer first.
Everything seemed to work normally.
And then he started to have a seizure.
Naturally, Trevor had been keeping an eye on them, and he immediately ran in and brought the guy to a hospital.
As Trevor rushed the guy out, the Dreamer only looked after him with expressionless eyes.
Some hourster, the news came in.
He was dead.
His mind had shut down.
The two other Extractors felt a cold shiver run down their backs, and they refused to work with the Dreamer.
Naturally, lots ofints followed, which prompted an appearance from Wyntor.
Wyntor only waved the contract they had signed.
And then, he told them to work with the Blood Horse or leave.
Surprisingly, the two of them still keptining, which was not what Wyntor had expected.
He had expected that they would falter and work with the Blood Horse.
Wyntor did not like that one bit!
