Rest at the Haven

The Cigarette Girl quest starts as soon as Phyre goes down for a nap. We enter a dream sequence where Fabien walks through a sunflower field while an unknown voice speaks to him. The scene then shifts to Fabien's memory of a time in December, when he walks out of his office to talk to Officer Wheeler.

After Officer Wheeler walks away, head straight ahead and go down the hallway on your left. A yellow line on the floor will mark your path towards the Holding cells. You will find a person sitting in one of the cells wearing a blue shirt.

Speak to him using the following dialogue choices:

(>) I'm kinda thirsty…

Go back to the hallway outside the Holding cells and head left. Go up the stairs and reach the exit. When reaching for the glass doors, Officer Wheeler locks Fabien in and brings up his debt.

Persuade Officer Wheeler to unlock the doors

To persuade him, you can use the following dialogue options:

(>) Not right now.
(>) Pay you Tuesday.
(>) Can we settle it over cards?

Fabien then plans on wiping his memory, before which, he can choose one of these dialogues:

(>) About that money…
(>) What’s with the guy in the drunk tank?
(>) How’s the family?
(>) How about that forecast?
(Leave.)

As soon as the conversation ends, use the keybinds shown in the HUD to use the Forgetful Mind ability on Officer Wheeler. This erases all memory regarding the gambling debt.

Investigate the Masquerade breach at Makom bar

For the next section of The Cigarette Girl quest, you need to exit your office building and then head over to Makom bar, which is 270m away from the station. The establishment is on a lower level, so you must find the entry point of the bar in an alley close by. At the entrance, you will find the Makom bouncer named Patrick, who asks you to talk to Mr. Fletcher.

(>) What makes you think I’m a cop?
(>) Waiting for your sire, right?
(>) Talk to me about vampires…

Convince Pandora to talk to you

The Cigarette Girl quest introduces Fabien's skills one by one. Since Pandora isn't willing to talk to someone rocking a detective ensemble, you must use one suck skill, titled Mask of a Thousand Faces, to convince her. Doing so triggers a new conversation where you must choose the correct options to keep the illusion going.

Soon after this conversation ends, we wake up back as Phyre inside Dale's Apartment. And that ends this lucid dream sequence, which showed us a glimpse of Fabien's memories and flashbacks.

This concludes The Cigarette Girl quest in Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2. Although this was an independent quest, Phyre does not attain any XP since it was a dream sequence. However, these flashbacks give us an insight into the modus operandi of the killer, who could be responsible for the demise of Prince Campbell.
