Unfortunately my bed is calling me, but I'll put in my two cents before hitting the hay.  While I'm sure gold is on everyone's minds, I think it should be our priority to get to those Imperial Guardsmen and bolster our forces before attempting to penetrate deeper into Attica Station.  At the very least we may be able to save some of them, which is better than just leaving them locked up in a room while we rush straight for the money.
