* [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized Toris]]'s backstory is one long SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, despite being wrought with {{Adult Fear}}s and {{Tear Jerker}}s. He searched for [[MoralityPet Feliks and Raivis]] in the Vitim-bombed [[DoomedHometown Darinys]] for ''two weeks'' before he found them [[WarIsHell trapped in a collapsed basement]], surviving by pulling handfuls of snow through a shattered window? ''Awesome''. And it helps that they were sixteen, thirteen, and ten at the time.

* Similarly, the FiveManBand's backstory was one long moment of awesome, particularly Island's escape from the planet and Suomi's CurbStompBattle - singlehandedly and against a whole gaggle of pirates.

* The Kala revolutionaries breaking into the Duma was pretty badass. But more so, [[SexSlave Eduard]] deciding [[{{Determinator}} not to stand by and watch things go down]], to save his friends on ''both'' sides of the conflict, and in the process ''acting of his own will'' and finally feeling and acting like his own person after a lifetime of internalized dehumanization - a ''Crowning Moment'' of Awesome if there ever was one.

** Also this exchange:
-->'''Eduard''': Wait. So [Commander Zielska] just ''gave'' you a job?
-->'''Toris''': Well, I might have helped myself to a few of the guns. [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse In case she said no]].

-->'''Kirkland''': Unsinkable's right, you know, you're every one of you automatons. Can you even [[BlindObedience think at all for yourself]]? Does Francis bother teaching you to do that? Or would that just be a waste of his precious ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' time? In fact, if you hate Unsinkable at all it's probably because he pissed Francis off when he was here, and Francis took it out on you. Or ''maybe''Just maybe, you hate him because ''he'' has a voice and ''you don't''. He's the sort of person [[CrazyAwesome you can't help but notice]] and you're the sort of person [[ShrinkingViolet you can't help but ignore]]. Why, Unsinkable [[{{Determinator}} demands things from life]] that you won't even tell yourself exist because the knowledge of their existence'd hurt you so bad you'd cry yourself to sleep nightly. Things Francis will never give you because you're an object who's perfectly happy being inanimate, things you'll never demand because Francis has you so brainwashed you can't fathom demanding them... Because nobody cares about anybody else in this system. You got that? Nobody cares about you. Not even Francis. And why should they, hm? You're a meek, pathetic excuse for a [[ExtremeDoormat doormat]] and your only weapon is to try to lash out and poison my mind against my crewmate. You want to command respect? Earn it. [[WhamLine Unsinkable does that. You don't.]]

* Unsinkable himself has another one of these during his ClickHello to Mathieu.
-->'''Unsinkable''': I'm getting out of here, and you're going to find me an exit. Once I'm gone you can blab to Francis all you like, if he doesn't mind you talking with your ''mouth full of cock''. Now march, bondsman.
* [[TheSpock Eduard]] gets one during his own ClickHello to Raivis, along with an AwesomenessByAnalysis; he immediately deduces that Raivis is an enemy of TheEmpire, privy to top secret information, and manages to corner the spy at gunpoint before Raivis even realizes Eduard is suspicious.
* Tim's initial confrontation with Captain Kirkland ''reeks'' of awesome, even if it ends in an EnemyMine.
