** Even [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold Zimsky]] goes out like the hero he never wanted to be, furiously ordering Keyes to leave him rather and using his last moments of video feed to give him the [[EurekaMoment bright idea]] of using Virgil's fuel core to augment the final bomb.

* After holding his dismay in about the team's plan, Zimsky reaches a RageBreakingPoint and aggressively tells off everyone, even reaching levels of hostility. When Braz tries to calm him down, he receives a BigShutUp from Zimsky...to which he responds by right-hooking in the jaw, [[OneHitKO instantly rendering him unconscious]].
* Zimsky's breakdown in and of itself is pretty glorious to watch, considering it's pretty saturated with {{narm}}.

* Just the entire CONCEPT of the ''Virgil'' is one of the most inventive craft in all of science fiction, and deserves to be ranked among the [[CoolShip Cool Ships]] of the genre. I mean, it's a [[DrillTank DRILL]] [[CoolTrain TRAIN]] with [[RayGun LASERS]] made out of [[Unobtainium UNOBTAINIUM]]!!! How can you NOT love it?!?

'''Rat:''' How many languages do you speak?\\
'''Zimsky:''' Five actually.\\
'''Rat:''' Well I speak one – 10100. With that, I could steal your money, your secrets, your sexual fantasies, your whole life; any country, any place, any time I want. We multitask like you breathe. I couldn't think as slow as you if I tried.

* Credit must be given to Keyes near the end, when he takes the fuel rods, to complete the last bomb. The things were basically red-hot, enough to snap metal chains in under a second's exposure (even protective gloves weren't enough)... ''[[{{Determinator}} then he grabs them anyway, continuously holding on despite the sizzling sounds of fabric and flesh, pulling/dragging the things across what's left of the ship (including up a vertical ladder, at that).]]''
