History Awesome / Freefall

** Look at the thing he did in comic. He's not ShroudedInMyth. They just don't know how to COUNTER him yet.
** To start off? Remember. At one point Sam stole enough things that, to be fair, he had to GIVE SOMETHING BACK, just so he'd have more to steal!

* Just to show how determined Florence is to escape her captors and save Jean's robot population, she blocks out the shutdown signal from her remote by putting water in her ears, and pulls off [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02438.htm an audacious ruse]] to ''pick her captor's pocket'' of her remote so she could ''smash it'' in a bathroom stall door and flush its remains down the toilet. This shows: One, she--an ordinarily very LawfulGood character--is not above [[StickyFingers picking up some tricks from Sam]]; and two, she's willing and able to overtly defeat the [[RestrainingBolt safeguards she had since she was very young and feared for much of her life]].

* Sam [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1600/fc01546.htm showing off how much of]] a MagnificentBastard he can be.

* The mayor's assistant goes behind the mayor's back and [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2200/fc02155.htm orders Florence]] to do whatever she needs to do to save the robots from [[spoiler:[[BrownNote Gardener in the Dark]]]], risking his career.

** Look at the thing he did in comic. He's not ShroudedInMyth. They just don't know how to COUNTER him yet.

* [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3500/fc03469.htm Apparently]], although Sam is an omnipresent nuisance on Jean, he's ShroudedInMyth off-planet. The docking receptionist thinks twice about short-changing the crew of the ''Savage Chicken'' when he finds out who it belongs to. Yes, ''being Sam Starfall'' is enough to get his crew a discount.

* Florence gets Sam to share sqid legends with her. Realizing that humans need to know the bare basics about his world as much as he needs to know the bare basics of theirs, Sam lays out the first rule of sqid legend: [[JerkassGods gods do not give]], so mortals must ''[[ImpossibleTheft take]]''. It starts with MonumentalTheft (their planet, land sea and sky, is a bounty), drives right through IntangibleTheft (plagues were a lesson in "easy to steal = nobody wants it"), and goes all the way out to "a sqid is born when they ''steal from the goddess of life'', and death is when she gets her belongings back".

* Mr. Kornada [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty finally gets his just desserts]], as the employee he'd ''intended'' on using as a ScapeGoat [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2400/fc02377.htm had actually recorded every interaction he'd had with Mr. Kornada]].
-->'''Blunt''': He must have know. You'd be. Too modest to. Take credit. Sir.

--> '''Blunt:''' I have looked. The Blue Screen of Death. In the eye. And forced it to reboot.

** Then, she [[WalkingTheEarth drives around Jean]] to learn more about the robots, with the [=JarJarBot=] as her traveling companion. As for her travel itinerary, she wants to drive around the world, knowing that with the rate Jean's importing water, the two of them will be the ''only ones'' to ever manage to do this.

--> '''Blunt:''' I have stared the Blue Screen of Death in the face. And forced it to reboot.

* The last part of the Ecosystems Unlimited arc where Sam [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01677.htm pulls together]] an IndyPloy to rescue Florence from [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Kornada]] attempting to put her back into [[HumanPopsicle cold sleep]]. Also provides a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilarious moment]] where Plan B involves TongueOnTheFlagpole.

** After learning just how many times the [[RestrainingBolt Emergency Shutdown]] option has been used on Florence, [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2600/fc02553.htm Dr. Bowman is]]... [[{{Understatement}} less than pleased]].

* [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1800/fc01780.htm Sam tricks the mayor into ordering no less than '''FIVE''' AIs into hitting her with a pie.]]

-> '''Blunt:''' I have stared the Blue Screen of Death in the face. And forced it to reboot.

* Two more for the Mayor: first, she decides to leave office after the Ecosystems Unlimited imbroglio, [[{{Cincinnatus}} understaning that as a politician she can no longer claim to serve public interest]] as long as she keeps having issues with the robots as people.
