Ooo, I can just see Gryph as honoured guest presenting the Kobyashi Maru scenario to the ATS Middies in one of Honor's famous after-dinner simulator events.

Gryph presenting it, of course, does the usual Honor trick of giving two messages -- the first one being the standard KM cliche about what you do when you can't win, the second being precisely what Honor does in these situations (and what Gryph did) and winning anyway by dint of hard work and determination.

(of course, I can't see Honor winning the KM without taking horrible ship damage and probably losing an appendage, but...)
