By Her Reason Swayed

During a quick stopover at Starfleet Academy, Commander Julienne Cochrane assists in testing a new version of the Kobayashi Maru simulation.

=Production Notes=


 * This was the first "Episode" of Tamerlane. The script, written in an hour, was designed solely to test if making a Star Trek Fan Comic was even feasable. Because of that, no real Tamerlane history is involved with the exception of the comment that they would be getting a new engineer, a reference to Brandi Ward who would be making her debut in The Champion.


 * The only regular Tamerlane characters that appear in this episode are Julienne Cochrane, Angelica Bennett and the Transporter Chief (Who is, at this time, still unnamed).


 * The other bridge characters are from various other starships, including the Enterprise, Exeter and Farragut.


 * It took 60 days (two months) to complete the 20 pages.


 * "Omake" (Oh-Mah-Kay) is a Japanese word for "Extra" or "Side-story" in Japanese Comics, or, "Manga". Because BHRS was a quick write-up and test, it was tagged as an "Omake".


 * The Title "By Her Reason Swayed" is a reference to Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Act 2 Scene 2: Lysander: “The will of man is by his reason swayed.”
