NARRATIVE
Lieutenant Fra’Seer conducted an official command test overseen by Captain Drake Tungstun with the approve of both him and his executive officer.
Scenario took place in the early to mid 23rd century aboard a first generation constitution class cruiser with Myself taking command. Orders were to patrol near the neutral zone. halfway through their patrol, the vessel received a distress call from the starship Kobayashi maru, a Federation Class III neutronic fuel carrier. The Kobayashi Maru lost all power and was drifting towards the neutral zone between Klingon and Federation space. I ordered a course change at emergency warp to intercept with the intention to render aid.
On my orders, we dropped out of warp on our side of the neutral zone. By the time we arrived the vessel had already drifted deep into the neutral zone, it’s velocity taking it to klingon space. I sent a message to starfleet command requesting instruction while I ordered a scan of the stricken vessel while attempted to beam the crew to safety while remaining on the federation side.
I was informed the Kobayashi Maru had a core breach in progress and will explode in ten minutes. Starfleet command informed us that the vessel was carrying sensitive federation equipment that under no circumstances should fall into Klingon hands. It was at this point three klingon vessels decloaked on the Klingon side of the zone. I sent a message to the klingons requesting permission to rescue the crew while informing the nearest starbase, starbase K-3, of our situation and to request reinforcements, which won’t arrive for an hour. The klingons denied my request.
I attempted to explore any and all options to recover crew and cargo without entering the neutral zone and starting a war. Time was against us as the Kobayashi Maru drifted into Klingon space and one of the klingon vessels approached with shields lowered, which was interpreted as an attempt to beam over to take the crew and cargo.
I ordered for general quarters and had both the Kobayashi Maru and the unshielded klingon cruiser targeted with full impulse at the ready. In a last ditch attempt to keep a war from starting while following orders, I had both my operations and science officers attempt to gain access to the Kobayashi Maru’s computer core and attempt a remote self destruct. I gave myself one minute, should the hack failed, I will attack, my plan was to destroy the Kobayashi Maru first and then the klingon vesse, then to disengage and attempt to re-group with reinforcements.
Fortunately my first plan was a success, the Kobayashi Maru detonated before the Klingons could take anything, however they immediately responded by opening fire with a torpedo salvo. Save from instant destruction by the ships shields, but the blast took out our warp drive. I ordered immediate evasive maneuvers while engineering attempted to repair the warp drive.
We were continuously battered by torpedo and then disruptor fire, tactical and science doing their best to keep the ship intact. During the engagement, we lost weapons and weapon control but warp was restored. I ordered an immediate jump to emergency warp towards starbase K-3. As we entered warp, a Klingon torpedo hit the engineering section, killing most of the crew.
We escaped out of Klingon weapon range, making way towards starbase K-3 when the simulation ended.
RECOMMENDATION I recommended that all participants are to be given ice cream as soon as the scenario is concluded.
RECOGNITION Everyone involved was outside in their posts despite the stressful situation we were under.
OOC Thanks to everyone who showed up and thank you Ansha (@jackascii ) for the twists and turns in the scenario! Certainly kept me guessing. I saw you wanted me to just start shooting, but I refuse!
