Moon Soldiers Must Die: After Action Report Continued

Here's a very brief highlight reel from Friday's awesome Moon Soldiers Must Die! game:

• When the klaxons announced that the Venusian Queen was under attack, Penelope "Nice Ass" Franklin ran back to the stateroom of her sugar daddy to raid his safe for valuables. Never underestimate a player's desire for phat loot, even in a game where wealth is only a special effect.
• PP-138 calmly directing passengers to observe proper emergency protocols. The last one to leave the Interplanetary Lounge, "he" pulled a C-3P0 and calmly walked through a firefight between Moon Soldier Pirates and colonial marines. Everybody ignores the robot.
• Quasar Jones was a walking kung fu blaxploitation movie. Ripping off his bartender uniform (shades of Isaac from the Love Boat) to reveal his martial arts gi, he proceeded to singlehandedly decimate an entire squad of Moon Soldiers with a dozen of razor sharp (and sometimes explosive) afro picks. 
• Rescuing a stock lounge singer from a Fate Worse Than Death at the hands of lascivious Moon Solders, Penelope blasts a hole in the deck of the Venusian Queen to land in the midst of the other player characters (currently embroiled in yet another firefight).
• With the ship's systems failing, PP-138 directs his robot minions to restore gravity. Of course, commanding a staff of housekeeping robots meant that the best he could do was restore gravity along a totally incorrect axis. 
• Escaping by rocket, the party survived running the gauntlet of Moon Soldier attack ships... alas, only one character could fly using Rocketship Pilot (1). Because of that, they crash-landed into a Venusian swamp in a scene very reminiscent of Luke's arrival on Dagobah.
• PP-138 is a walking radio. Of course, he cannot listen in silently and must broadcast everything through his trumpet-like mouth. Cycling through numerous colonial radio stations, he discovers alien communications indicating planet-side Moon Soldier activity.
• Jungle trek montage sequence where Penelope and Tom Angel progressively loose their clothing to the mildly corrosive atmosphere. Penelope is left wearing nothing but leaves and her corset when the party is forced to hide from a Moon Soldier patrol. At the end of the montage, the party realizes that the rescued lounge singer was eaten by an elusive swamp creature in the previous scene.  
• Cleaning up from the sweaty trek, moist towelette dispensers become a running joke.
• Herr Doktor Professor von Hauptmann uses the new "Declare Facts" rule (which I will definitely go into further in subsequent posts) to explain his past run-in with a renegade Moon Soldier while solving the mystery of the murdered Doctor Rotwang (apologies to the real Dr. Rotwang). Not a direction that I expected but it set up a much more satisfying conclusion as the renegade Moon Soldier returned in the adventure climax.
• Penelope also makes use of the "Declare Facts" rule to proclaim that the human bandit queen leading native Venusian insurgents against the invading Moon Soldiers was a former New York City prostitute. The two hit it off spectacularly.
• Tumbling down a ventilation shaft into a reactor room worked by dozens of robot minions. PP-138 was making progress in expressing solitary with his fellow mechanical manservants when Herr Doktor cannot resist pushing the shiny red secret base self-destruct button. Much combat ensues.
• Herr Doktor's dramatic face-off with his nemesis that he declared earlier in the session. Amazing luck keeps him in the fight long enough for Tom Angel and Quasar Jones arrive on the scene to finnish things off (the latter arriving dramatically by sliding down a zip-line on his nunchucks).
• Penelope saving herself from a potentially lethal fall by grabbing a bunch phallic hoses. That Hooker cliche sure is coming in handy...
• PP-138 destroying the Moon Soldier mobile artillery unit by walking right up to shouting "Intruder alert!". Nobody notices the robot.
• Herr Doktor blowing his roll to pilot the escape rocket out of the self-destructing secret lair. Amazing follow-up rolls save everyone but Penelope from fiery death, and Tom Angel saves her "nice ass" with an astounding but of selfless act of heroism (i.e. jacking the difficulty of his own roll way u to save her as well).
• Classic "hero shot" has the player characters walk away from the exploding carnage. The bandit queen swings down into the arms of Quasar Jones.
