Several officers "mutiny," steal several shuttle craft, they declare they are civilians, an "engagement" ensues between the shuttle crafts and the starfleet vessel, shuttles cross the neutral zone, save the crew and passengers of the Kobayashi Maru, cross back over the neutral zone, surrender to starfleet vessel.

See, what I would do is invert the polarity of the tachyon flux across the primary deflector and then reroute all emergency power to the EPS system, with the end result of creating a chronometric pulse that literally sends the Klingons to next Tuesday. I then violate the neutral zone in that time honoured tradition of Starfleet captains everywhere, rescue the people at my leasure, and then warp back to Risa for a weekend of fruity drinks and public klingon-mocking.

The Klingons won't arrive until Tuesday.

Well if they're going to be difficult and/or late about it, we'll just have to send them to Thursday instead.

And of course, as it always does, the time travel shenanigans will soon become a clusterfuck of cosmic proportions. Before you know it, there'll be six of me, and one will be evil - you'll be able to tell because he'll have a goatee and dreams of world domination. And, as we know, one can't just be rid of their evil dopplegangers without some kind of dramatic confrontation and a bit of personal growth.

Me, I'd just beam them all out into space. But then, perhaps I was the evil doppleganger all along, and I was just smart enough to invest in a razor.

They'll never know.

They;d be killed by the Klingons waiting. The Klingons are there to kill. They dont care about a Federation scuffle. It's a sniper situation to draw out more victims.

The only way to "win" is to not play. Sit at the border. The the Kobayashi to abandon ship and direct all pods on your location. If the Klingons fire on them, there's nothing you can do. But when they're in transporter range, you get them out. WHatever you do, you do not enter the neutral zone. That's what the Klingons want.

If the Klingons shoot then they will be in violation of the neutral zone and firing on civilian ships (albeit commandeered) and the shuttles can turn back. minimal loss of life

Shuttles cannot carry that many. Maybe 50 out of 400 would be saved, even if goes as planned.

You have the shuttles, captain's yacht, escape pods...and extra room in the transporter pattern buffers. Oh and i forgot...room in the photon torpedoes. (It never goes as planned...it is the Kobayashi Maru.)

Only Scotty used the buffers for such purpose and in the episode, it was 1 buffer per person. So I doubt that the extensive modifications could have been completed in time and that, even so, the buffers on the shuttles could only hold a handful extra.

But going further, there are the escape pods that could send all the people to the federation's side of the neutral zone, leaving the ship in the zone to self-destruct (or captured by the Romulans!).

Just send all the people in escape pods to the federation side of the zone.

Would the Romulans just shoot all the vehicles (escape pods or otherwise) trying to leave the neutral zone? I would think so.

Since it is an adaptive simulation....yeah, the enemy would shoot the escape pods. Or the kobayashi Maru would be caked through sensor ghosts, false transmissions, etc.
