[ The memory kicks in with Jim and Leonard in their cadet uniforms, the latter trying to get through to his distracted friend. There's a sense of needing to be active and occupied until he takes the Kobayashi Maru test again tomorrow, higher stakes pitted on his side this time; his feet lead him to Gaila's room where he wastes some time before Nyota Uhura returns ("You can hear me breathing?") and kicks him out.

The scene flickers to the set of the Kobayashi Maru, Spock's old program, and from Jim's perspective he's being more attentive than he looks where he's lounging in the captain's chair. The subroutine goes as planned while he holds off inputting any more commands, thereby activating it via newly installed pathways through Gaila's stolen codes, and he munches cheerily on an apple as he swans around his bewildered fake crew, chomping loudly and obnoxiously as he glances up to the instructors above.

Third time's a charm, he thinks smugly, taking a bigger bite. ]

( OOC: Jim's memories are broadcasting of the Kobayashi Maru, an exam at Starfleet Academy. It runs at 29:32-33:11 on the nosvideo link, not including the hearing after. If the HD link doesn't work, try this! Jim is unaware of the post at the time of it hitting the network. )

Amazing? Hardly. I wouldn't mind seeing this Enterprise of yours, though.

She's pretty great, yeah, I won't deny. Best in the fleet, one of the newest models.

I doubt I could even begin to understand the technology, but I'd sure like to take a look at it.

It's not too difficult to get a grasp on. Hey, I'll bring over one of our tricorders sometime, you can take a look at it.

I'd like that. It'd be something more interesting than what I normally do.

What, at the bar?

Yeah. There's only so many times you can balance the books and deal rounds of poker before you start wishing you had something a little more complex to devote your attention to.
