Chapter 57: Chapter 57 – Ability
Jenny just looked at Nick with dumbfound confusion.
"I have no idea," Nick repeated. "My Zephyx Synchronizer was already attuned when I came into contact with the Dreamer, which was why I didn't get its ability, and the only other person who worked with it is in some sort of coma."
"Coma?" Jenny asked in shock.
"Yeah, I didn't want to tell you before you worked with the Dreamer since it would make you more nervous without a good reason," Nick said. "Let's just say that I messed up with the last person. I took someone that obviously didn't have the mental fortitude to work with a Specter."
"But I believed in you, and my trust was not misplaced."
Jenny became a bit more nervous when she heard that someone had been put into a coma because of the Dreamer.
"What happened?" Jenny asked.
Nick sighed. "After five hours, the Dreamer walked away from him, and he started to have a seizure. He hasn't really woken up since then. That was about two weeks ago."
"You, on the other hand, finished the full eight hours, which means that you're not in danger," Nick added.
Jenny was still a bit uncertain, but she didn't complain.
She had just earned 400 credits, which was insane.
"Anyway," Nick said. "You should really try to find out what kind of ability you unlocked. If you feel uncomfortable trying alone, we can try tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, I need you here at 2 pm. 2 pm, on the dot, enter the Containment Unit and tell the Dreamer to wake me up. I'll show you how to operate this thing," Nick said as he pointed at the console of the Containment Unit.
For the next ten minutes, Nick showed Jenny how to operate the console, and eventually, Jenny left to go to the bank and home.
After Jenny left, Nick went to one part of the Containment Unit, which he then unlocked with a key.
Inside, Nick found a small tube with something that looked like white powder.
This was Zephyx.
Nick carefully took out the tube and put an empty one in before closing the metal plate again.
After that, Nick entered Wyntor's office and put the tube of Zephyx on top of the copy of Jenny's payment.
When he was done, Nick nodded once in satisfaction and left the warehouse.
Nick checked up on Horua, slept for four hours, checked up on Horua again, and slept for another three hours.
Nick grabbed a quick bite to eat and entered the warehouse.
Pator was already here.
Pator always had to come early since Nick was working with the Dreamer during this time.
After some small talk, Nick entered the Dreamer's Containment Unit and fell asleep.
About eight hours later, Nick opened his eyes and saw Jenny standing beside him.
"Already time to stand up?" Nick asked with a yawn.
Jenny nodded with a smile. "Yep."
Nick nodded, stood up, and walked out of the Containment Unit.
Jenny followed him.
"I know what kind of ability I have," Jenny said.
"Oh?" Nick asked with interest. "Tell me."
"I'll show you!" Jenny said with some excitement. "Don't worry. It won't hurt."
Nick nodded.
