Well, there's still the counters where tellers would give out banknotes to the back but otherwise, the only thing in the square room is a pair hallways: One at the west side and one at the south side.
With how much noise is being made in the latter one, it doesn't take long to figure out which one to head down. You do a quick WHISPER OF THE CITY scan and okay yeah the west one leads to an emptied out office that holds nothing of value. No point going there.
Wendy takes a moment to sniff the air before she allows you to go any further. "It's faint but it smells like someone bleached this place clean."
[ANIMALISTIC IMPULSES] THEY MISSED A SPOT. REEKS OF BLOOD. SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENED HERE.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] The silvers have no reason for being here. You think this is a mystery you're not supposed to solve.
"Well, it is weird how this place is emptied out. Maybe we can ask the others?" You shrug. You're really only here to check out the loot.
Wendy shrugs back. So be it.
Heading down the southern hallway, the first thing that catches your eye is the MASSIVE pile of shattered and crunched ice. A decent amount of it is still rock solid but it appears whatever structure was once here was melted to weaken it before being cracked wide open.
The trail of watery footsteps leading past the ice pile tells you that's probably what happened.
It's a short trip past the pile of ice to find what you're looking for: The bank vault. It too has been...pried open by less than subtle means. The vault's massive steel door has been twisted, scorched, and burnt in such a way that a small entrance was punched right through the damn thing instead of them actually opening it up.
Crackles of off-blue and green light linger around the torn entrance hole. That's pretty damn impressive since you'd guess this thing is about three feet thick but on closer examination, the metal itself seems remarkably flimsy even before it was weakened.
Wendy smacks her baton against it and the metal DENTS just from her gentle taps. The cold must've weakened the metal over time. Without any further ado, the two of you climb right through the torn open vault door.

You know you're not actually robbing a bank since this place has been abandoned for centuries but god damn, does it still feel like it. You feel giddy at just...waltzing right into a Bank vault for goodness sake! Especially when you look around to see your surroundings.
The walls are lined with hundreds on hundreds of tiny little deposit boxes that must hold a million little secrets of their own; That is if there's anything left from the centuries of being storied here. There's a handful of different colors for each deposit box but on first glance, you couldn't tell what they mean.
The only other thing to note besides the deposit boxes is the massive table in the middle of the room. Well, it used to be, it's busy resting on its side after being knocked over.
