chuckle I quite enjoyed this chapter in all aspects. The bit with the fighter, and Kirk's referring to it later was inspired (heh, when you've got one of the best pilots in the Fleet, that kind of thing can happen - plus Harry has a most tenacious push to win and using an experimental fighter beats modifying the programming for a simulation - mind you, I quite enjoyed the way the novel "Kobyashi Maru" described osme fo the other TOS bridge crew taking their tests, Scotty's was especially good and fun). Harry & Hui make a good pair and I can't help but look forward to where they go from here (wonder if she'll be snatched back in time with him?) and how they'll deal together with the remnants fo Tommy-boy.

I'm glad you liked it. Now harry is going to eventually go to command school. I'm thinking that Command school is similar in nature to the army's command and staff college, where only senior 0-3 (Captain) through newly promoted 0-5 (Lt.Col) would go if they were noted for higher command. Harry will still have to do the Kobashi Maru, but all things considered, He'll pass it in a way that No one will expect.
