The moment the voice echoed throughout the room, a low pulse of blue energy came from Labyrinth. It was low, and hardly noticeable, but it was there. The criminal was on high alert, and obviously expected some kind of confrontation. Gray eyes locked on the hardly moving creature nearby, and as Tehra stepped forward Labyrinth moved with her slowly. He kept himself between his partner and this ... creature.

"Danger. Fangs that pierce, wounds deep. Panic and smell, tearing pain." The voice continued as though rambling in madness. The strange thing was ... it could easily have been Tehra's thoughts he was echoing. Then again, perhaps he was recalling his own transformation. "Quiet, no noise. Stifled screams and tears that won't fall."

Labyrinth pulsed with Purium once again. The blond youth slowly let his gaze focus on Tehra once again. He didn't seem worried that the two of them were getting closer. He didn't seem to carry much emotion, really. Curiosity, yes, though it wasn't an intense feeling. This vampire stood in front of the switch they needed to trigger.

There are two tasks that need to be completed simultaneously to restore power to the facility. Labyrinth didn't glance to Tehra, but blinked as he regained partial sight. A quiet confirmation of this was relayed to Tehra as they moved closer to the odd youth. They needed to flip the switch and hit the starter if they were to charge the system fully. That wouldn't have been difficult if they hadn't had a vampire standing in front of them.

"Confusion, disturbed and comforted. Kill it? Silver shines, but do these ones shine? How many to count before it dies?" The male's red eyes darted over Labyrinth, but focused on Tehra once again. "Splintered, broken. Used for stabbing and wounding. It would work, but will I use them? Perhaps it listens."

Labyrinth tensed as his sight regained another layer of use. Now he was in front of Tehra completely, not allowing her to step forward. The vampire still hadn't moved.

Red eyes stared back at Tehra for many moments before slow words followed her response and question. "Is it possible?" The question didn't quite fit into any of the categories she'd mentioned save one: could he learn to control his vampire instincts? "To be one of them is to hunt, to end ... to feed." He was suddenly distracted by his thoughts, and skipped trains of thought. "Name? Young, so much potential, full of pain." The youth spiraled into another flurry of disconnected thoughts. "So small, won't survive long. Yet, when given power..." He frowned slightly, then reached up to touch the tags that hung around his neck. "Cole."

Cole. Accessing file. Labyrinth took less than a few seconds to give her the information, his mental voice carrying (if possible) less emotion than Cole's. Agent Eidolon - in reference to a shade, apparition, or idea - wields the ability to manipulate the memories of others. He often moves unnoticed, and will carry on conversations with individuals without them ever recalling them. He is overlooked, though seems to always be in the same room. Cole was found in a neighboring town, convicted of multiple serial murders. Note: Eidolon is sociopathic, and doesn't operate on the same frequency as many of the other criminals. He is driven by something other than revenge, though the reason has not been noted. Various accounts of conflict are listed.

Before Labyrinth could continue, the youth looked to him strangely. "You pull thoughts that are not your own. Lost thoughts. Thoughts untouched. That is not who I am."

Labyrinth's gaze was just as emotionless as usual ... but Tehra could have sworn she felt some shift in his demeanor. Perhaps it was just the tenseness of the situation. There was silence, but it was obvious that Labyrinth was "talking" with the boy.

"Yes, I can hear you. Like ... you're speaking, but not wanting anyone to hear." Cole's eyes lowered as he seemed to dig deeper into whatever he was talking about. "Strange feelings. Information on the walls, glittering in the dark. A creature, been years since contact. It breathes. It moves well. Destruction of another home, sent to learn."

Labyrinth's Purium pulsed again, and Cole blinked back to reality. "You come to learn?" He looked back to Tehra. Apparently, he was going to skip right over what had happened to the fallen agency.
