		Feb 15 2003, 05:25 PM Could be that the starfleet vessel that came to the aid of the Kobayashi Maru was not the Enterprise but another (as not yet named) in the original incident and by the time back up from star fleet and/or her allies arrived it was already too late.....
		Apparently the Kobayashi Maru is in distress and has somehow crossed deep into the Neutral Zone.
		Maybe there was someone aboard the Maru that Archer knew well....Imagine him and the crew of the Enterprise arriving to see the aftermath of the carnage left by the romulans.

	Message Forum: Re: Adventures on the Kobayashi Maru ;-)
		Only one cadet ever "beat" the Kobayashi Maru, and that was our hero, James T. Kirk.
		Of course, he only "won" because he was a cheater, and he reprogrammed the simulator to allow a cadet victory, because he "didn't believe" in no-win situations.
		I belive Kirk was also the first person to ever attempt to re-program the Kobayashi Maru, so he got points for being original.

		The book is broken into four flashbacks of how Kirk, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov each managed in their own way to beat the Starfleet Academy's Kobayashi Maru combat simulation, the so called "impossible scenario," framed within the present day story of a shuttlecraft problem.
		The Kobayashi Maru is a simulator exercise all command students at Starfleet Academy must go through to test how well they respond to losing.
		The internal stories are the stories of how each of Kirk, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov reacted to the "Kobayashi Maru" scenerio in their academy days, ostensibly told by each to the others to pass the time.

		Interesting night last night - lots of talking with the soccer coordiantor and another referee; most of the talk had to do with how this league lets problem teams (and more specifically, problem players) remain playing year after year.
		Does it mean that even if players on the aggrieved team think their own players were the problem (and after the game say they thought I did the right thing, ifyou can believe it), I was in a no-win scenario?
		In the title I made reference to the Kobayashi Maru, partially because I happen to like Star Trek; partially because it's a neat title; and partially because if you're famiilar with the phrase, you know that Captain Kirk responds to it by cheating, because he doesn't believe in a no-win scenario.
