13. Once McCoy has been liberated, Kirk informs Chekhov via communicator...but, since he doesn't want to mention the Genesis Planet over an open channel, he uses code to explain that the mission is proceeding as planned. Finish Kirk's coded line to Chekhov: "The KOBAYASHI MARU has set sail for _________________________."
