To Taste A Foreign Body quest starts with Fabien commenting on the important things at hand. Head through the broken wall to reach the entrance filled with lights. Voices of Police Officers can be heard outside the main door. This is where the Heightened Senses ability gets introduced. Use it to locate the origin and direction of the voices.

Get to the roof, avoiding police

After investigating the door that the Police Officers are trying to open, we are introduced to the reactive crosshair, which increases in size whenever secrets are nearby. Use this to locate the lifts blocked with wooden planks. Use your Heightened Senses and then Telekinesis to break the pipe inside.

Explore this apartment and locate the bathroom. Climb up through its broken ceiling to unlock the Gliding tutorial. Explore the room ahead and cross the hallways to find a bathtub and a giant hole in the floor. Climb down and exit the apartment to find two police officers exploring the hallway. Once they have left, crouch your way across to the vents.

Be careful inside the vents, as there are gaps through which the officers can spot you. It is best that you wait for them to finish their conversation and head back. Safely exit the vent to climb down through the hole on the floor. Cut across the hallway to find the stairs. Reach the top where a ladder awaits you, brightly lit up in red lights.

Upon reaching the top, you are introduced to a Ghoul that you can take down in To Taste A Foreign Body quest. Bite on its neck to acquire XP. In the next room, jump across the broken stairs and head inside the door. Here, you can attack two more Ghouls with a tutorial showing you how to strike from above.

Get to the roof

After beating the two Ghouls, look up at the ceiling where light is shining through to find wooden plans you can break open with Telekinesis. Climb up the wall and acquire all items nearby before heading into the next room through the double door.

Defeat the ghouls

The next room contains three ghouls talking to each other in separate corners. Take them down carefully or head into combat; these NPCs stand no chance against your powers. Soon, a fourth ghoul will come to aid them. Take them all down, and head inside the next area. Climb through the opening in the ceiling to cross a small passageway.

This will lead you to the stairs that take you to the roof. Break the lock on this door to trigger a cutscene. As Fabien informs Phyre of the current year, our protagonist then explains that they have been asleep for a hundred years. This cuts into the cinematic pop-up of the Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 title card.

(>) You persist. Disappointing.
(>) Unusual, to wake to a kind word.

(>) I am.
(>) They still remember me?
(>) How do you know that?

Phyre can choose these dialogue options next:

(>) I am a traveler.
(>) I am a warrior.
(>) I am a survivor.

After hearing Phyre's remarks, Fabien asks about the most dangerous thing out there, to which our protagonist can reply:

(>) Mortals that hate.
(>) Ideals that demand blood.
(>) The fight for power.
(>) I have said enough.

The last few dialogue options are as follows:

(>) Who was your sire?
(>) What is this haven?
(>) Any memories returning?
(>) About the Kindred of today…
