Ulrich Leland. Location: Bank lobby
"Skylar, take care of the guard on downstairs. Thaddeus and Michael, let's handle the ones on upstairs."
Climb stairs up. Look again where the not-us people are. Archive, storage, conference room? I feel confident enough to drink my christmas potion #30.
If I'm still in good shape to kill things, move together with Thaddeus to kill.

30 eh? Someone needs to brush up on their Latin.
http://www.wordsense.eu/defleo/You drink your potion. May god have mercy on your soul, because this one is permanent.
You don't feel terribly different...a bit sore maybe, but otherwise alright...
"Alright, time to shoot some guards."
Head upstairs with Michael and Ulrich to hunt down the two guards up there. Use the cam-eyes to track them and and take them out separately with a combination of the microwave amp and handgun and with helping the other two.
Michael goes after one of the guards not already being covered by the team
The team moves upstairs as quickly and quietly as they can, watching the heat signatures as they do. Unfortunately it seems like the guards have gotten fed up with dead air on the radio and are moving toward the stairs. By the time the team makes it to the top landing, the two heat signatures are already in the hall leading to the stairs, maybe 30 feet away. Mike, who reaches the upper landing first, overcompensates, slightly. He kicks the door to the stairs open with appropriate gusto and opens fire. The gun is loud, but Mike is louder, and he spends the several seconds it takes for him to empty his magazine into both guards, the walls, and the floor screaming threats, obscenities and general macho nonsense. When it's over the room is silent, the guards are very much dead, along with one of the servers and several filing cabinets behind the thin walls around them, and Mike seems very pleased with himself.
Bring the van around at some point.
You bring the van around and park it in the alley, lining it up so the back doors are near the repository door.
I feel confident enough to risk screwing the mission.
((Remember, no experimental space magic during the mission. At least wait until we're back at the ship.))
Milno doesn't like cigarettes, but at the very least they're an excuse to stay there watching the mission unfold. During his jail time he had also seen people do similar things in movies.
Keep watching.
Note: In case TCM doesn't post, have D'usse bring the van around so their momentary absence doesn't harm the team.
The windows of the upper story of the bank suddenly begin flashing with the characteristic flashbulb light of a gun going off. The security lights are still on, so the flashes aren't as obvious as they would be if the inside of the bank was pitch black, but you can still see them. You can also hear, muffled and indistinct, a long screaming rant and the dull POP POP POP of the gun.
You grimace and push smoke out between gritted teeth. You look around. A few lights in neighboring buildings have flicked on in the time since the shooting ended, and you can see silhouettes peering out at the street and looking around.
Assuming direct control... of the guard downstairs. Attempt to make him drop any weapons he has and then stare at a wall.
Once he's 'disarmed', start trying to make sense of his brain. See if the God Machine can tell me anything about it's contents.
You do....something. You're not sure what, honestly. He's definitely disarmed...you think. Well He's definitely not showing up as a living human being on the scan. But there's a new signature down there now...a bigger one. You look at the data and for some reason all that comes to mind is a wriggling mass of earthworms. You're not sure why.
