Turn 5

Taser that new guard, belly flop onto the unconscious one (use my 20, completing my mini-quest), kill the unconcious guard, and loot a new taser and a needlegun (and some ammo for each) from the dead guards.

[Attack: 16] You deftly bring the weapon to bear on the last guard and shoot him down from mid-range. (Defense: 10) The weapon brings him down as well, knocking him cold with a
Whew, this weapon seems to be rather effective. You might actually use one some other time.

[Wrestle + Strength: 20+1 (new miniquest)] (Defense: 1) Just for kicks, you finish off the one you downed before, breaking every bone in his body with your massive girth. Some of his bones prick your skin from below, giving you a rather embarrassing wound.
You swap out a new stun pistol so you don't run out of charge. There are no needleguns around to loot though. You dealt with all the taser guards though. Bodycount: 4. 2 wounded. None of the guards are wearing first aid kits.

The prisoners start to applaud. And then--
*click*

--then the lights turn off. The other prisoners are murmuring.

Cafeteria Rifleman: 'ey.

The voice is coming from the cafeteria. You see a red pinpoint coming from there. Said pinpoint is also present on your chest. You hear footsteps from behind.
Cell Block Rifleman: What is this mess? Did you do this by yourself!? My God..... *cough*
Cafeteria Rifleman: Don't shoot 'im yet. You'll hit the others. Plus, I've got a couple of new scores to settle..
The one from the cafeteria starts walking your way. [Observation: 6] You can't tell how far he is.

The other one is behind you. [Observation: 4] You can't tell how far he is.

(The darkness gives a -4 to accuracy against targets with laser pointers, -10 to all others. The guards may or may not get this penalty, depending on their equipment.)

The miniature tank complied with all testing. It was determined to be a regular RC tank in all respects when and it is being held in Dr. Hans' office on the desk.

The rest of the file details your circumstances. The evidence in your case. In fact, there is a text-processing document present written by Dr. Nyvenne Martins, outlining the issues with your trial and why you shouldn't be on this ship. Apparently you were due to be released three days from now.
There are also lots of pictures of Centauri tanks, and their schematics.

I'm using a free pick to grab a 16 for this. Also, look for some bold cutters to open the locker and some gloves for something else.

The Atmospherics Lab contains a wind tunnel and a gas chamber. The toxic spores are pouring in fast, so you first regain your breath by entering the airlock after setting it to flush the chamber with oxygen.

[Construct Equipment: 16] You can use this chamber to breath and assemble a pile of parts. Soon enough, through repeated trips into the storage room, you find some tubing, an emergency mask with nothing but a filter, and an oxygen tank. You put them together, just in case the toxin in the air will pass the filter.
[Search: 6] You can't find bolt cutters. It seems that such a tool would be a good way to release harmful chemicals into the room. Obviously they don't want that. You do find smaller tools, such as some small wire cutters, wrenches, and generally all the equipment needed to manipulate the hazardous material tanks.

"I'm sorry nurse, but there are people out there in need of medical attention, possibly quarantine. Please go get some biohazard gear on, and help me get the situation under control!"

[Improve Opinion: 15] Nurse: What? You're... alright. How many are injured?
She puts on an airtight suit from a closet. Apparently this place was completely prepared for some sort of biohazard outbreak. There's dozens of suits available. They're all made of a flexible material with a rigid helmet section.

The nurse will now take orders without persuasion. (Subordinate?)

Look at the red dice.  See if there's anything different about them.  You know, other than their color.

Inspect the contents of my pocket, just in case.

You try to roll the first red die, but it burns you.
The next die doesn't burn your hand. This is odd. It was a [20].

Suddenly, the lights turn off. You can't see the dice anymore. You drop the first red die from before, [Attack: 17] and you hear a loud impact below you, causing you to jump.

Upon inspection, it seems the red die cracked the cloor below you. You can't tell what number it landed on.

Arthur:Oh geez.  Keep hold of the dice...

Towel:This is a good time for the cell we're in to develop a hole in the floor, huh?  Certainly no-one would expect that.  Except maybe Arthur, and he doesn't really count.

Also there should be a 20 in my queue?

[Dustan Hache]

"There were at least three who were showing symptoms of something, but at the same time, they were in combat with that fungal creature. The seal on my air tank was corroded, and vented a yellowish cloud of unknown composition into the air."
He would start to head back to the scene with the nurse, unless ordered otherwise by them.

[ATHATH]

What's the description of my mini-quest supposed to be?

Emit a menacing laugh, and release some courage spores while I'm speaking until they form a cloud around me. Once the laser is on the cloud instead of me, slowly shuffle out of the cloud and into cover while throwing my voice so that it sounds like I am inside of the cloud.

"Oh, you think you're so clever, huh? You think that I can't possibly hurt you when it's dark. Well, you're wrong- Space Mushrooms have innate night-vision (this is a lie). Even the other prisoners here can see you- your laser pointers reveal your location. Speaking of those other prisoners- what do you plan to do against our numbers? You have... what, 10 rounds in each of those guns, right? There's over 50 prisoners in this line- how do you plan to kill us all before we overrun you? Can't you see that this is hopeless? Lay down your weapons, turn on the lights, and put your hands up, and we'll let you live."

If they still shoot at us:
"CHAAAAAARGE!"
Charge at the guards with the rest of the prisoners and overrun them (take their rifles). Turn the lights on, and walk to the artifact chambers.

If the guards comply:
Pick up their rifles, have four prisoners point tasers at the guards' heads, and use them as hostages. Walk to the artifact chambers.

((What kinds of tanks full of hazardous gas are in atmospherics? Any nitrous oxide?))

[_DivideByZero_]

((What kinds of tanks full of hazardous gas are in atmospherics? Any nitrous oxide?))

It seems this atmospheric lab is also used for studying non-human reactions to various substances, so there are indeed a few large tanks of nitrous oxide.

[inaluct]

Violaceous Turaco needs to act quickly and decisively. He gathers up a pair of gloves, the largest wrench he can find, and the largest number of tanks of nitrous oxide he can carry, regardless of size. Four very small tanks would be better than one large one.

So armed, Violaceous Turaco dons his breathing apparatus, approaches the locker, and uses the wrench to break the lock, jamming it between the door and the frame of the locker and leveraging it open.

What's the description of my mini-quest supposed to be?

Oh. Oops. I was tired.

Nightstalker: Slay/incapacitate both riflemen using stealth attacks (Reward: Defense rolls for alerted enemies are now worst-case.)

Emit a menacing laugh, and release some courage spores while I'm speaking until they form a cloud around me. Once the laser is on the cloud instead of me, slowly shuffle out of the cloud and into cover while throwing my voice so that it sounds like I am inside of the cloud.

"Oh, you think you're so clever, huh? You think that I can't possibly hurt you when it's dark. Well, you're wrong- Space Mushrooms have innate night-vision (this is a lie).

Lay down your weapons, turn on the lights, and put your hands up, and we'll let you live."

[Stealth: 7] The laser creates a line, making it easier to see where the laser is going and coming from. There's no accuracy penalty now.

The guards still track you with their rifles as you walk into cover, though. No dice.
The laser from behind you seems to be coming from an angle. The guard is probably on a catwalk or standing on a cell or something.

Cellblock Rifleman: Those prisoners don't seem to be in any condition to overrun anyone.
Most of the prisoners around you are suffering the effects of your prior spores. [10] They may be courageous, but they've got a lot more of the previous spores in their systems.
Cellblock Rifleman: Plus, you really think they're all willing to die just to let a few go free? The shuttle ain't even got quarters for more than a dozen people.

Cafeteria Rifleman: Just... shoot if they act up.

The guard in the cafeteria turns off his laser pointer. He continues walking.

Arthur:Oh geez.  Keep hold of the dice...

Towel:This is a good time for the cell we're in to develop a hole in the floor, huh?  Certainly no-one would expect that.  Except maybe Arthur, and he doesn't really count.

Also there should be a 20 in my queue?

The 20 was rolled. Unless you mean the 20 from before you jumbled them together. That turned them all to random dice.

[ATHATH]

Sneak away (I'm in cover, right?). Use my best roll on sneaking away. Once I'm in a better (hidden) position, dual taser the catwalk repeatedly to electrocute both guards (there isn't a roll to see if the catwalk is metal, right?).

[Yourmaster]

Wait harder.
