"You can see enough of it, I think. take no chances. Grenades."
Suiting actions to words, Toby stands and tosses a grenade in thought the door (after pulling the pin, of course). He immediately returns to his firing position after this action.
If the thing moves before Toby pulls the pin, he instead returns to the firing position without pulling the pin or tossing the grenade, and fires.

"...works for me. White phosphorus incoming."
Toss my WP grenade into the security room. Be sure to duck back into cover until the grenade(s) have gone off. After that, back to covering the door with the pistol. Be ready to shoot if the thing comes out.
IF the thing moves to the door before I pull the pin, just shoot it instead.

Toby stares at the hunched shadow for a few seconds before whispering "Grenades," to the men next to him. He pulls a frag off his belt while grant grabs the WP on the desk and they throw their grenades together, arcing them into security room. They land, the round frag clinking and the oblong WP clanking. A growl rises up from the darkness but is cut off when the grenades detonate. The shockwave exits the office in a concentrated burst, a fist of air that sweeps the entire lobby, shaking the glass doors and shifting the desk several inches. Tiny, sand grain sized fragments of white phosphorous spray through the door way and drift gently down, burning out before they can touch the ground. The interior of the security office is nothing but a blazing white inferno, a firework that won't fade and that etches dark afterimages in the eyes of anyone who looks at it for more than a second. Smoke pours out of the room and crawls up to the lobby ceiling. The smell is terrible; burnt hair and ozone.
"I'm not talking to whatever that is."
Run over to where the other two are, keeping my sword ready I case it charges.

You run over and slide behind the desk, keeping your sword at the ready. You resist the urge to point it towards the security office as though its sharp point could do damage from a distance.

"Give it a good heave - everyone else, keep your aim on it and fire when it moves out."
Get ready to shoot for when the thing leaps out of the door - if it does.
You set your shoulders, move your finger to the trigger and wait. It's hard to keep your eye on the door without burning your retinas out, so you settle for sidelong glaces every few seconds and keep your ears open. You listen, trying to hear something over the constant roar of flame and hiss of smoke. Then, over the sound of the WP burning, comes a roar. A creature charges out of the doorway, its body completely consumed in white flame. What it looks like, what it is, no one can tell, its outline is a blazing halo of white flame.
The creature sprints across the room, leaps onto the table. Ciaphas gets a shot off on it, clipping it in the side as it charges over to the team. It swings one burning limb at Toby and carves three deep wounds in his chest (6 damage). Toby collapses, falling limply against the desk, unconscious.
