* One of the GalBank missions. The mission itself is a standard "kill the enemies and rescue the NPC" objective. But the fact of the matter is that you're a loan officer, someone sent around to get loans paid on time, [[AlmightyJanitor and you just massacred a mine full of Ecliptic mercs just to get payements resumed.]] The NPC you rescue even says "I have never been so happy to see a bank official."
* One of the quests you can pick up in [[SpaceAmish New Homestead]] on Titan is given by the colony's doctor, who's one of the homesteaders with something of a beef with the tourists that come to visit the colony's museum. Her solution? Hand you a hilariously non-scary monster costume and send you out to give a random group of tourists a good scare, hoping they'll spread the word about monsters living on Titan and thus put a damper on tourism. Aside from the entire plan being both hysterical ''and successful'', she's just so damn cheerful about her own idea, especially when she tells you that the costume used to be a highschool sports team mascot and was later slightly modified for an indie movie before she got if for cheap after the film bombed.

** While the entirety of the Kid Stuff trait is incredibly heartwarming, it can take an absolutely ''hilarious'' turn when you head to Neon and ''see your parents in the Astral Lounge''. Your parents say they got a special vacation gift to Neon, so they figured they'd stop by the Astral Lounge. To say it's an awkward situation should you approach them is an understatement, and you can absolutely choose to do some teasing at their expense.
