Valjean’s Kobayashi Maru: goes alone into Klingon territory in a small shuttlecraft in order to rescue as many survivors as possible. Informs his crew that, should he be captured, they are to disavow him and mount no rescues. Halfway there shuttlecraft gets englobed by Klingon destroyers. Crew ignores his orders and comes to rescue him. Everybody dies. War with Klingons starts. Admiral Myriel asks him what he thinks he did wrong. “I shouldn’t have trusted that my crew would leave me to die; I know it goes against Starfleet tradition.” Myriel buries his head in his hands.
Fantine’s Kobayashi Maru: orders saucer separation, with a handpicked volunteer-only crew to come with her in the nacelle section on rescue mission. Survives surprisingly long because so few cadets use saucer separation that the simulator isn’t as good at compensating for the increased maneuverability, and Fantine is really good at finding ways to prolong a no-win situation. Still, everybody in nacelle section dies. War starts. Gets second highest marks in her class and gets into Admiral Simplice’s special command seminar.
Javert’s Kobayashi Maru: Contacts nearest Klingon authorities to inform them that a Federation ship seems to have trespassed on their territory and is in some distress. Tells them the Federation would be much obliged if they tried to save civilian lives, and might even be willing to arrange a prisoner exchange. Which the Klingons should take them up on, since the Federation has something of an embarrassment of Klingon POWs at the moment, what with how they’ve won every war the Klingons have ever started. Continues on scheduled patrol. Within ten minutes angry Klingons appear and blow his ship to smithereens. Everybody dies. War starts. When asked what he did wrong, says “I suppose taunting them was below my dignity as a starship captain.” Admiral Chabouillet buries his head in his hands.
Jean Valjean replied, and the sound of his voice appeared to rouse Javert:
“It is with regard to him that I desire to speak to you. Dispose of me as you see fit; but first help me to carry him home. That is all that I ask of you.”
Javert’s face contracted as was always the case when any one seemed to think him capable of making a concession. Nevertheless, he did not say “no.”
Again he bent over, drew from his pocket a handkerchief which he moistened in the water and with which he then wiped Marius’ blood-stained brow.
“This man was at the barricade,” said he in a low voice and as though speaking to himself. “He is the one they called Marius.”
