Sometimes, you just need to Kobayashi Maru the situation when you feel like you're faced with a "no-win" scenario like this

I faced the Kobayashi Maru, tanked hits with shields down while I beamed over all that could be saved before the stranded ship was destroyed by the enemy.

The whole time I was firing at time scoring multiple hits while I circled and dodged.

Once the rescue operation was terminated, shields were raised to full and I concentrated on the lead ship. It was already heavily damaged and I promptly sent it to pagan klingon hell.

It was glorious. I continued firing at the next ship, the rage of our weapons soon punched a hole where their bridge once was.

As we turned toward the last ship, it had broken off, shamefully fleeing.

We could not pump enough ammunition before it would depart so I took decisive action.

I ordered to ram the enemy ship into its engine section, they were immediately disabled while we suffered crumpling damage to our evacuated fore section.

We pulled back and finished off the last survivor from a distance.

After the battle we scoured the friendly wreck and rescued a few more people as well as some klingon prisoners.

We dematerialized all remaining wreckagr from the areas, no communications made it out during the battle due to our jamming.

With the only witnesses aboard my ship I departed.
