So, they have a strict directive (Protocol 3) to not kill anyone.

However, in this case, due to the nature of the situation, shooting down (or even just wounding) a few soldiers would have resulted in the same number of deaths in the end (due to the final explosion) and a much higher chance of mission success (mandated by Protocol 1) without having to send back (and waste) more travelers to occupy the soldiers. No deadly force (and thus no direct Protocol 3 conflict) was even necessary; shooting the soldiers in the legs (sharpshooter?) would have sufficed.

Which seems to suggest that either (1) the writers were careless with such plot details or (2) something else (more complex/insidious?) is going on.
