Every time I see this emblem, I have to smile. The Fuel Rats are a player-run faction in Elite: Dangerous that will, when called upon, undertake rescues of other players who have run out of fuel and gotten themselves stranded out in the Deep Dark. (1/2)

Holographic billboard displaying the emblem of the Fuel Rats: a stylized rat's face in a round badge.  Text around the badge: "The Fuel Rats" "collocare occasionem liberabuntur".  To the side, text: "We have fuel. You don't. Any questions?"

They do not ask for or accept any repayment for this, donating their own time and resources to these rescues.

They made such an impression on the developers that they implemented these holographic billboards in-game, randomly visible in and around space stations throughout inhabited space, and the mere existence of such an organization in a modern online game renews my faith in humanity a little.
