Try to hack the door open. If doing so would be too difficult, then use another keycard reader to read the keycard and forward the signal to the broken keycard reader's system.

So the thing here is that the "Complete the mission" option was there because the third lab was effectively sealed up and the others were cleared. But Pathos here has gone and opened both doors and locked them open so...Well. Lets see who is nearby!

Sorry guys, my explosives and technology die are only d4s! Guess we gotta call this one...
We do a summary of what we did, right?
Many incidences of calculated recklessness
Was almost mugged by teammates
Survived far more injury than is typical
Found a smart toaster : )
Fought the printer cat bravely
Fought other stuff also bravely
Oh, lucky! All these fellas are hanging around in the area! That should make this next part...well not easier but more direct.
Both blast doors- the inner and outer ones- open with a pneumatic hiss. If the men arrayed outside the outer blast door had more time they might have made note of the badly burnt antechamber from where the turrets self destructed. Of course their attention is a bit occupied with the Puppeted corpse inhabited by a HELL creature that comes screaming through the inner door in a flailing wall of tendrils.
[5,1+1][7,3][6,5][4,6][2][4,4]
(Jack and Steve reduce your magazine use die)
The team turns their rifles (or pistol in Steve's case) on the creature and open fire in a deafening barrage of concentrated fire. Rounds tear through the thing in great numbers, though it seems like most of them have little to no effect. The Creature keeps coming as bursts of blood and shredded flesh erupt off of it. Lance is the first one to really make a meaningful hit, striking the beast in its swollen and completely alien side, causing it to screech and lurch, its stride broken. Jack's shots seem to connect as well and though the creature still reaches the group, it is clearly badly hurt.
[7v2]
The beast lashes out with a flailing barrage of tentacles, targeting Spuds. Spuds ducks and dodges through the blows with relative ease, the creature seeming slower and weaker than it was earlier.
Behind this tentacle beast way back in lab 3, something with a face like a flattened bone diamond peaks its head around a corner.
Goldbricking sounds pretty much exactly like Jon's job description. Order an alcohol 'suitable for a dedicated sanitation employee with discerning taste and class.' Compliment the bartender's bowtie and chuckle at the coffee maker's vitriol.
"Classic impotent murderbot. Heh heh.
Hey, Pathos. I think you lost our bet again. I only managed to incinerate one teammate's feet. I don't think any of us died at all. I mean, there WAS a lot of blood and viscera, so it wasn't all bad."
cleaned up a lot of corpses
threw body parts at hostile creatures
poked a 3d printed murderfloof with an automatic mop
standard looting actions
carefully exaggerated the amount of time and effort his job required for pay purposes
took a long lunch with some of the gang at the titty bar

Jon looks at the bottles on the shelf and eventually points to one called the "Incinerator". What could be more fitting? Turns out its a cinnamon whisky with a proof in the triple digits; its name is fitting [-1 OMNI]
Jon spots what Pathos is doing with hacking the doors open.
"HEY! No fair trying to cheat and win the bet now!"
"Damn I can't afford anything."
Search the barracks and see if anyone left anything good sitting out in the open.
