Tactics, 8/20
Without so much as a 'good morning, class', Jim pulled up a ship to appear above the student's heads. He really enjoyed the Danger Shop too much.
"This is the Kobayashi Maru. She is a crippled civilian vessel that Star Fleet has ordered you to rescue from the Klingon Neutral Zone. Of course that does mean crossing from safe space to hostile territory to reach and evacuate them before you're discovered and then attacked by Klingon forces."
The ship stayed where it was, but was joined by another one slowly moving toward it as if to rescue the wee people aboard. It was interrupted as five more ships blink into existence to begin shooting.
"As you approach, several Klingon Birds of Prey uncloak, appearing around the Kobayashi Maru and begin to attack. You're completely outnumbered, outgunned and your shields won't hold for very long. There is no chance for other Star Fleet ships coming to your aide as you're the only one in the sector. So. I want you to tell me how you would win this simulation."

Re: Take the Test
"Negotiating will be tricky since you're not supposed to be where you are," he said finally. "They have no incentive to listen to you explain how very lost you got, but shooting at them to get their attention won't work either because they'll just shoot back and then everyone's dead."
He tapped his fingers on the desk. "Hiding behind the crippled ship only works as long as they don't remember to think in all dimensions, so maybe five minutes. How long would it take to evacuate civilians?"
