Alright. Archon will run past the guards, blocking one of their attacks with a shield and dodging the other. She then quickly fashions a wall of hardlight blocking them from following her(hardlight construction).

The hardlight wall does the trick. You are able to escape from the guards and are able to regroup with Whispers and Shadow at... I don't know, you guys decide where you meet.
Whispers likely intercepts Ilia somewhere like halfway away from her office, "Oh shit you made it out." she's immensely relieved obviously, "We need to hide you.. somewhere.. " she trails off in thought while at the same time waving Ilia to follow.

Whispers eventually takes Ilia to an old abandoned library. It has no connection with Ilia that she's aware of so shouldn't be something anyone would think to look for her.

Whispers successfully takes Illia (if Illia would allow it that is) to an old library. It is really old and abandoned. There is a big hole in the floor and there's moss growing on the walls. It's surprising that this building is even within city limits. Then again, you just visited a lovecraftian abomination in the form of a slum in Weave Street so this library isn't too much of a stretch. Now what do you guys actually do? I can't really progress the story forward unless I know what everyone is doing or plans on doing about Ilia almost getting killed via gun cameras and security robots.
Whispers will first find a location within the building that is out of sight of any windows and at least structurally sound enough not to collapse on them.
"Well, shit. So your boss is crooked and I'd guess he was the guy who identified you. Girl, I think you might need a new job."

Whispers smirks, "Right now? Take a break.. and just... talk this through." she looks at the dusty floor, makes a face but sits anyway, "What can you tell me about your boss?"

Not much. Her boss was a normal middle aged man. He had a balding head of black hair. He was not particularly fat but had a slight beer belly. The boss didn't really do much that seemed illegal. However, it was strange that he had recently invested a lot of money in security robots, better guard equipment and gun cameras. It was probably at that time when he got into this gun/drug business. He was a single man, never really had wife or kids so he lived alone in his apartment.
I can provide more information but I need more specific questions.
Yup.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Does archon know if any other guards are posted nearby? Or are these the lat ones?
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
If you can get past them and get a good lead, you're free.
But remember: if you waste time, more guards will show up.

(She'll continue running)

What does the party do now?

You guys successfully regroup somewhere and hide there from the guards. Shadow can be there too.
So what do you do in your hideout?
Um... guys? What's your next course of action?

"[WHAT THE DM SAID]"
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Alright, Archon says what she knows about her boss. How does Shadow and Whispers react to that and what is their action plan?
Whispers nods along slowly, "Didn't anyone think gun toting robots in the office were a bad idea?"
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
"I mean, he was the boss. We all knew something was probably up, but we didn't know what."
