Though the station looks abandoned, you see footprints in the sand. A golden eagle sits on the stripped diesel dispenser, watching you with unsettling intensity.
You approach the main building, looking for a way in. The windows and doors are all boarded up, and though there's a garage door for a loading dock, it seems locked.
The eagle spreads its wings and screams. You don't have time for this. The sun will kill you, but first it will drive you mad—you can feel the Beast rising in you. The Beast: the untamed monster that lurks inside every vampire, that drives you to acts of depravity and violence. You're losing control. You need to act now—but that eagle seems almost to have been put here to guard this place. Its talons flex.
My mental powers have been honed to a razor's edge, such that I can command even this eagle. "Go," I say. That will give me time to find a way inside.
In addition to my mental powers, I have unlocked the Lasombra gift of superhuman strength. I stride past the eagle and smash through a boarded-up window to get in.
In addition to my mental powers, I've begun to unlock the Lasombra powers over Oblivion. I wrap myself in shadows, which will either confuse or terrify the eagle—I don't care which—and buy me time.
