((Haha, this part. I love it.

Had she been a woman of weaker will, she might have sulked about having a partner who seemed extremely interested in her yet completely uninterested all at once. How was that even possible?
Oh, it's possible. Thanks, Labyrinth. You're both unaffected by womanly people and bored. What's WRONG WITH YOU?! hahaha

Also: It ain't that easy to get him to talk! ;) haha, it will be soon, though. I assure you. Gotta get the creepy echoes going through the place somehow....))

Labyrinth stared while Tehra finished her answer. The male seemed to register what she'd said and immediately repeat it in different terms. A habit to help you form an accurate report as well as a personal version of such files for later viewing. He blinked in response, and continued to stare.

Luckily, Tehra broke what might have been an awkward silence. After she asked her question about Labyrinth's method of communicating, he didn't respond immediately. It was the first slow answer that he'd given. It required more than fact - it required an opinion and his personal preference.

It is more efficient.

His short answer didn't fit with how long it had taken him to think. Labyrinth continued to think, and looked hesitant before continuing through their usual method of communication. It has not been required. Labyrinth has not spoken in person with an agent in years.

Labyrinth blinked, and turned his attention to the outside world once again. He kept silent until they arrived at the Darkholme Facility. Seconds before they landed he stood and surveyed his own clothing. It looked like it was fashioned after some kind of armor - or, parts of it did. It fit him well, as did Tehra's suit. He reached up to touch his earpiece, immediately triggering the "mask" substance that flickered like a screen before his features before becoming virtually invisible.

From here, masks must be engaged.

Labyrinth didn't look to Tehra, as he knew she was listening. Slinging his bag over his shoulders, he stepped toward the door and released the cabin pressure. Disembark. The first task is to scout the area for potential threats. Labyrinth's Purium was pulsing with a pale light as he let his gaze methodically scan over the darkened surroundings. Unfortunately they were arriving after dark. It was already shadowed and dismal.

Just as the pictures had shown, Darkholme was a mess. It looked very much destroyed from the inside out. The humid fog around them didn't help with the scenery, either.

Labyrinth started toward the right, obviously planning on scouting the area in a methodical fashion that would leave nothing left unseen. With the efficiency he suggested, they could cover the outside ground in a matter of fifteen minutes or so.

The air contains a 9% compound of unknown elements. His grey eyes moved to Tehra and he looked her over. Ensure there is no contact. Labyrinth continued his methodical scouting until they were finished. There was nothing particularly suspicious about the outside of the building other than the fact that it looked as though everyone was missing. It was foggy. It could have been smoke if Labyrinth hadn't have mentioned the unknown element to it.

The entrance to the Darkholme Facility was once a high-tech airlock. Now, the inner barrier was broken and shattered glass covered the entry. The outermost doors were without power, which meant they needed to be pried open. Labyrinth placed a hand on the metal frame of the glass door and frowned slightly. Nothing was happening.

Labyrinth is unable to supply power to the mechanism. Unusual. That single word would have sounded human if it had been said in a natural tone. Despite the glitched door, the male didn't seem to have issues with getting the door ... open. The sound of shattering glass cut through the silence all around them. It echoed into the dark facility, the sound coming back to them eerily.

The second task is to seek a power source to bring Darkholme online. Labyrinth stepped into the shattered airlock without looking back. He continued on through the second set of doors as though the darkness wasn't bothering him. It probably wasn't - not with his adapted sight. Luckily, the "helmet" and mask that Tehra wore was equipped with the same technology. There were a few spectrum options - heat, movement, contrast ... you name the spectrum, it was available to them. This meant that no matter what, there would be some way to see. Hopefully they'd get the lights working again soon.

According to the facility plans, the generator is in the middle of the complex. Labyrinth looked to Tehra, and a small translucent icon appeared in part of her mask visor. He was pointing out the correct path.

((Sooooo, I'm thinking creepy trek through darkened facility, creepy things happen, and there are sealed rooms ... not everyone is missing, you see. There's just no sign of life. o__o))
