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."

"Let's say a minimum of ten minutes. Transporters and shuttles can only do so much."

"Then you're vaped," Ben said quietly, "unless you can come up with a way to make the enemy ships explode, and it would have to be all of them and all at once, and you'd have to pray they hadn't contacted their chain of command already. Because being in the neutral zone is bad, but taking shots has definitely blown a peace treaty to hell."
