I own nothing.
OK Bones, you win, fair and square. So, what is it? Truth or Dare?
Thruth.
Jeezz, don t you wanna think about it for a minute?
Nooo loverboy, it s time to confess your darkest secret.
My darkest secret? I don t have dark secrets!
Yea, sure.
Well, not any that you don t know already
Ahh, yess you do.
Mmm OK, shoot.
Kobayashi maru.
Oh no! Not again!
Yes, again, because you haven t told me the truth, never, not once.
Yes I have!
No you haven t!
Do!
Do not!
Do!
Do no..Argg Jim! You lost, you pay! Confess!
I ve already told you! I did not instal any subroutine in the damm program!
Swear on my oh no so little Jimmy!
O my
Told you.
Then how?
OK, I m telling you, but yo cannot tell ANYONE, I m dead serious.
Deal.
You were there, you saw what I did.
Fuck Jim, no more games, I want a straight answer.
And I m giving you one. Remember, what did I do?
Nothing! You did nothing! You let them attack us without defending anyshit?
Exactly.
Exact Nothing? That s the answer? To do nothing?
Haha.
No.
Yep.
No.
Yes are we really going to start again?
But it can t be nothing, that s not possible, the progra...
The program was written by a genius, a green blooded genius, very good, very perfect half vulcan. One that despite all that he s seen and lived can t help but fail in the same defect as the rest of the vulcan race. No matter how much he s fought against it himself.
What defect?
They think they are superior.
They don t, they say it themselves, Xenophobia is not logical .
And at the same time they are always with the my strenght is superior to yours , my intelect is superior , my every shit is superior . Come on Bones I know it gets to you too.
OK, but whats that got do with the test?
In thinking he is wiser that the any cadet he asumed he had anticipated any possible reaction to the fake attack. But he did not contemplate the no response possibility.
Wha..?
To do nothing was not contemplated in the program.
It wasn t?
No. The program only contemplates the possibility that before certain codeline in the sim is reached some reaction has taken place shoot, a contact something. If nothing is done then it collapses.
Neat, uh?
wow.
Yea. Simple, really. Spock does not know. I told the brass of course, when they debriefed me after Nero. But I asked them not to tell him.
But why? He sould know so he can fix it.
No Bones, he had enough on his plate. And don t you see it? The no-win scenario does not exist anyway.
It does t?
No, it doesn t. Lets take the example Spock took: The Kelvin.
What about that?
Spock said that was a no-win, but my dad won...don t you see?
Yea Kid, I see. He saved you and eight hundred more, of course.
Eight hundred and his family that s a win.
End
