Star Trek Page #3

Three more Klingon war birds decloaking

and targeting our ship.

- I don't suppose this is a problem either?

- They're firing, captain.

Alert medical bay to prepare to receive

all crew members from the damaged ship

And how do you expect us to rescue them

when we're surrounded by Klingons, captain?

Alert medical.

- Our ship is being hit. Shields at 60%.

- I understand.

Should we, I don't know, fight back?

- No.

- Of course not.

What is this? What's going on?

Hm. Arm photons. Prepare to fire

on the Klingon war birds.

- Yes, sir.

- Jim, their shields are still up.

Are they?

- No, they're not.

- Fire on all enemy ships.

One photon each should do

let's not waste ammunition.

Target locked an acquired on all war birds.

Firing.

All ships destroyed, captain.

Begin rescue of the stranded crew.

So, we've managed to eliminate all

enemy ships,

no one on board was injured,

and the successful rescue of the

Kobayashi Maru crew is under way.

How the hell did that kid beat your test?

I do not know.

This session has been called to resolve a

troubling matter.

James T. Kirk, step forward.

Cadet Kirk, evidence has been submitted

to this council,

suggesting that you violated the

ethical code of conduct

pursuing to regulation 17.43

of the Starfleet code.

Is there anything you care to say

before we begin, sir?

Yes. I believe I have the right

to face my accuser directly?

Step forward please.

This is commander Spock. He is one

of our most distinguished graduates.

He's programmed the Kobayashi Maru

exam for the last 4 years.

Commander.

Cadet Kirk, you somehow managed to install

and activate a subroutine

in the programming code, thereby changing the

conditions of the test.

- Your point being?

- In academic vernacular - you cheated.

Let me ask you something I think we all

know the answer to.

The test itself is a cheat, isn't it?

You programmed it to be unwinnable.

Your argument precludes the ability

of a no-win scenario?

I don't believe in no-win scenarios.

Then not only did you violate the rules, you

also failed to understand the principle lesson.

Please, enlighten me.

You of all people should know, cadet

Kirk, a captain cannot cheat death.

- I of all people?

- Your father,

lt. George Kirk assumed command of his vessel

before being killed in action, did he not?

- I don't think you like the fact that I beat your test.

- Further more you have failed to define the purpose of the test

- Enlighten me again.

- The purpose to experience fear.

Fear in the face of certain death.

To accept that fear

and maintain control of oneself

and one's crew.

This is a quality expected in

every Starfleet captain.

Excuse me, sir.

We've received a distress

call from Vulcan.

With our primary fleet engaged

in the Laurentian system,

I hereby order all cadets to report

to hangar 1 immediately.

Dismissed.

- Who was that pointy-eared bastard?

- I do not know.

But I like him.

Bracer, USS Farragut.

McCoy, USS Enterprise.

McGrath, USS Walcott.

Spader, USS Hood.

Welcome to Starfleet.

Godspeed.

He didn't call my name.

Commander, sir, you didn't call

my name, Kirk, James T.

Kirk, you're on academic suspension,

that means you're grounded

until the academy board rules.

Jim, the board will rule in your favor.

Most likely.

Look Jim, I've gotta go.

Yeah. Yeah, go. Be safe.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.

Damn it.

Come with me.

Uhura, USS Farragut.

Petrovsky, USS Antares.

Go to your stations and good luck.

- Bones, where are we going?

- You'll see.

- Commander, a word?

- Yes, lieutenant?

- Was I not one of your top students?

- Indeed you were.

And did I not on multiple occasions

demonstrate an exceptional oral sensitivity

and I quote "an unparalleled ability

to identify sonic anomalies

in subspace transmission tests"?

Consistently, yes.

And while you were well aware that I'm qualified

and desire to serve on the USS Enterprise,

I'm assigned to the Farragut?

It was an attempt to avoid

the appearance of favoritism.

No. I'm assigned to the Enterprise.

- Yes, I believe you are.

- Thank you.

- What are you doing?

- I'm doing you a favor.

I couldnt just leave you there

looking all pathetic. Take a seat.

Let me give you a vaccine

against viral infection

from the Ovaran mud flies.

- What for?

- To give you the symptoms.

- What are you talking about? - You're

gonna start to lose vision in your left eye.

Yeah, I already have.

Oh, and you're gonna get a really bad

headache and flop sweat.

- You call this a favor?

- Yeah, you owe me one.

Kirk, James T. He is not cleared

for duty aboard the Enterprise.

Medical code states the treatment and

transport of a patient is to be determined

at the discretion of his attending physician.

Which is me. S I'm taking Mr. Kirk aboard.

Or you would you like to explain to

captain Pike

why Enterprise warped into a crisis

without one of its senior medical officers?

- As you were.

- As you were. Come on.

I might throw up on you.

Jim, you've gotta look at this.

- Jim, look.

- What?

We need to get you changed.

I don't feel right. I feel like I'm leaking.

Damn, it's that pointy-eared bastard.

- Mr. Spock.

- Captain.

- Engineering reports ready for launch.

- Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, the maiden

voyage of our newest flagship

deserves more pompon circumstance

that we can afford today.

The christening will just have to

be our reward for a safe return.

Carry on.

All decks, this is Captain Pike.

Prepare for immediate departure.

Helm, thrusters.

??? retracted, captain, dock

control reports ready.

Thrusters fired.

Separating from space dock.

The fleet's cleared space dock, captain.

All ships ready for warp.

- Set course for Vulcan.

- Aye-aye, captain.

Course laid in.

Maximum warp. Punch it.

- Lieutenant, where's helmsmen McKenna?

- He has lung worms sir.

He couldn't report to his post.

- I'm Hikaru Sulu.

- And you are a pilot, right?

Very much so, sir. I'm ...

I'm not sure what's wrong here.

Is the parking brake on?

No.

I figured it out, I'm just...

Have you disengaged the external

inertial dampener?

- Ready for warp, sir.

- Let's punch it.

- Where are we?

- Medical bay.

- This isn't worth it.

- A little suffering's good for the soul.

Hi, how are you?

- My mouth is itchy. Is that normal?

- Well, those symptoms won't last long.

- I'm going to give you a mild sedative.

- Oh, I wish I didn't know you.

Don't be such an infant.

How long is it supposed to...

Unbelievable.

Engines at maximum warp captain.

Russian whiz kid, what's your name?

Cheikov? Chirpov?

- Ensign Chekov, Pavel Andrejevic, sir.

- Fine.

Chekov, Pavel Andrejevic,

begin ship wide mission broadcast.

Yes, sir. Happy to.
