Mutiny
I
"Atten-TION!"
Special agent Hitomi Kotani's voice was sharp and authoritative. The three young cadets snapped to attention, standing straight and tall, like statues. This was a rare opportunity for them, and they were not going to blow it.
"I'm used to working alone. I am not thrilled to have three green officers, running around my ship, disrupting my routine" And invading my privacy she thought, as she tugged at the collar of her uniform. She was used to going naked on long interstellar voyages, but that wouldn't be possible with the crew that ADD headquarters had insisted she take on this mission. "In the chief's opinion, this particular cargo requires special treatment. And so here we are. But I promise you, if you step out of line, you'll be sent back to the academy so fast your panties will smoke."
She shouldn't have used that particular expression, she immediately realized, because it emphasized that for the next week or so, she would have three young female officers under her command. Spacegirl was the consummate professional, but she had a well known weakness for young girls, and she didn't need the distraction. Not on this mission. Focus was everything.
"The cargo must be protected at all times, and vigilance is the watchword. There will be someone on the bridge always, and the sensors will be monitored around the clock. This cargo is very valuable and will attract every space pirate within a hundred cubic parsecs." She stopped in front of the tallest cadet, Sasha T'Kara, a pretty redhead with pale delicate skin. "And you yourselves make quite a tempting prize for the slavers that stalk these parts." The cadet blushed, making her even prettier, and again Hitomi regretted her words. The less she thought about the sexual possibilities these young cadets presented, the better.
"I would have preferred more experienced operatives, but you were the only ones who volunteered. I hope your skill is equal to your bravery." She stopped in front of the next cadet, a sexy Chinese girl, So-Tsing Chin. She was the engineer, a whiz with electronics, but with very little field experience. "With any luck, a week from now, we'll all be exactly as experienced as we are now. The idea is to AVOID trouble, not seek it out."
Trouble. The word lingered in her mind as she stood before the third cadet, perhaps the prettiest of the three, a Hispanic girl, named Tasha Arroyo. She had large breasts, and a nicely curved ass, and a muscular frame. Long black hair, caramel complexion... and something else. A hint of defiance. She was the question mark here. Her record was sealed; there had been some trouble in her past, but nobody would say exactly why it was. Hitomi would not have had her on her ship at all, tantalizing as she was, if she had any choice. But she didn't. This was her crew, like it or not.
"Avoid trouble, understand? I'm your captain like it or not, and our lives will depend upon each other. Obey orders, stick to the plan, and no funny stuff. And we should be okay. Dismissed."
The three young women snapped three sharp salutes and hurried to their assigned tasks. Except for Arroyo, who didn't quite snap to, but held Hitomi's gaze for a second or two, and then sauntered off as if she had all the time in the world. Arroyo would be a problem, thought Hitomi, as her eyes followed the young Latina's perfect ass.

"Chin, when will the aft engine be repaired?" Three uneventful days in, and then a meteor hits the rear of the ship doing some minor damage. "We're going to need them soon, so..." Hitomi stopped short, caught by surprise. The young engineer was working on the engine completely naked except for a brief thong. The engine room was hot, sure enough, but this was exactly the kind of distraction Hitomi didn't need. The young girl seemed completely unembarrassed as she gave her report.
"It'll be up in no time chief, the damage was mostly cosmetic. I rerouted the power to the fore engines while I'm working on it, and adjusted the directional fins, so we're not losing any time."
"Chin! Regulations specify that uniforms are to be worn at all times. This breach of protocol will be marked down!" Hitomi was perhaps a bit angrier than the situation warranted.
"W... with... with all due respect, captain, the engine room is steaming hot, and I was expecting to be alone. T'Karra and Arroyo are asleep, and I understood that the bridge was not supposed to be left unattended..." The cadet was blushing prettily now, flustered by the attention called to her nakedness. She shyly attempted to cover her body with her hands.
"I decide whether the bridge is attended or not, cadet, and don't forget it!" Hitomi shot back, more angrily than she intended. She had been taken by surprise, both by Chin's nudity and her own strong reaction to it. She hadn't masturbated in days now, and the stress of the mission was getting to her.
"Yes, sir!" said Chin, standing at attention, a pose which only served to make matters worse, thrusting her chest forward. Hitomi couldn't help but stare.
"Ok, cadet. At ease. I'll overlook it for now. Back to work. We need those engines as soon as possible." Hitomi tore herself away, and marched back to the bridge, her heart pounding and her panties soaking wet.
"Inspecting the troops, captain?" said a mocking voice. It was Arroyo. "Isn't fraternizing with the crew against regulations... although in the case of Chin, I can see why you'd make an exception!"
"Knock it off, cadet. I don't like the insinuation. Remember your place."
"Yes sir, captain Spacegirl!" The insolent Latina saluted with exaggerated respect. "My shift starts now, sir. Perhaps you should get some rest, sir!"
"Watch it, Arroyo. I don't like your attitude. You could stand to be more like..."
"Like cadet Chin?" said Arroyo, smiling wickedly and arrogantly meeting Hitomi's gaze. "Okay, captain... but I don't own a thong."
But Hitomi pretended not to hear. She was too tired for a fight, and there would be time enough later to deal with Arroyo.

"T'Karra, report to the bridge" Five days in, and there had been no further problems, the crew seemed to work well together, and there had been no sign of space pirates. Arroyo had given no further sign of major defiance, and Hitomi allowed Chin's nudity to slide by, since she did in fact keep it to the engine rooms. Visions of the young Chinese girl's lithe, sweaty body caused Hitomi a bit of sleeplessness, but she adjusted. Now it was time to hear T'Karra's update on the cargo.
"The containment seems intact," said T'Karra, whose specialty was bio-chemistry, specifically, psycho-pharmaceuticals. "I was worried that the meteor strike might have caused a leak, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Obviously, the smallest leak would be a disaster, since a few nano-grams of this compound would be enough to cause hallucinations and even psychosis. I can't imagine why anybody would need this compound."
Hitomi was only half listening, struck as she was by the cadet's beauty. She found herself wishing that the bio-chem lab were hot and steamy, requiring the young T'Karra to work in the... she snapped herself back to the matter at hand.
"Good work, but keep an eye on it. As to what they use it for: I don't know and prefer not to ask. I just follow orders."
"As do we all" said T'Karra, with a smile... a flirtatious smile perhaps? No, don't even go there, Hitomi chided herself. Just a few more days, and this mission would be over. Don't screw it up now.
"But still, it's strange." said T'Karra. "I've never seen a psycho-active this powerful, and it seems to have a special effect on the erogenous centers of the brain. I wish I knew where it came from."
Hitomi sighed. She couldn't blame the cadet for being curious, after all her life might depend on knowing exactly what the cargo was. But at the same time, the less anyone knew of what the ADD research division was up to, the better. They did good work, reverse engineering various alien aphrodisiacs and psychtropic drugs, all the better to find a way of counteracting them, but sometimes the researchers took a little too much pleasure in their work, had a little too much fun testing their various chemicals. This particular cargo was especially secretive; there actually wasn't much that Hitomi could tell her about it ... only that if space pirates got their hands on it, it would mean trouble.
"Our orders are clear: protect the cargo until it reaches the research outpost. I understand your reservations, but orders are orders."
This statement had an odd effect on T'Karra. She stood up straight, and said in a serious voice :"Yes sir. I will obey your orders, Captain. Whatever they might be. I will do anything you say. Anything."
There was that smile again... flirtatious... coquettish. Hitomi had half a mind to make the young officer prove it by stripping down right there and getting to her knees and... But this was no good. Hitomi caught herself.
"At ease, cadet. Keep monitoring the containment, and report any problems." She saluted and left.
Hitomi was not at all surprised to see Arroyo outside in the hall.
"I suppose I should be as loyal and obedient as T'Karra," she said, with her usual wicked grin. "But there are some things I won't do." Arroyo's laughter echoed down the hall as Hitomi went back to her quarters and took a nice long shower.

Hitomi couldn't sleep. She hadn't masturbated for a week now, and living in close quarters with three attractive young women was driving her wild. She found herself making excuses to go to the engine room, and if she wasn't mistaken, Chin enjoyed the attention; she had stopped even trying to cover herself when Hitomi knocked on the door, and had even stopped wearing the thong. And she would call more frequent reports from T'Karra, asking stupid questions and barely hearing the answers. And she would give the bio-chemist odd, unnecessary orders, just to see how quickly they would be carried out.
And then there was Arroyo. Tough, defiant Arroyo, who fulfilled her duties impeccably, but was hardly a stickler for protocol. Arroyo, who would masturbate in her quarters, loudly enough to be heard throughout the ship; who would flirt with the other cadets, patting them on the ass and even jumping in the shower with them, much to their amusement and delight. Arroyo who seemed to know this area of space better than anyone else in the ADD, and who had successfully hidden them from passing space pirates. Arroyo who challenged every order Hitomi gave, stopping just short of insubordination, but making Hitomi earn every bit of obedience.
Arroyo was a challenge, one that Hitomi found inexplicably... arousing.
And so Hitomi couldn't sleep. She had never been so aroused, and her thoughts kept turning to Arroyo, alone on the bridge, her turn at watch, her tight uniform hugging her ample bosom and round hips...
Hitomi got up, and put on her uniform. Standard security check, she told herself. It couldn't hurt to check up on things, make sure everything was going okay. She went to the bridge, slowly, almost as if sleep walking. What she saw when she got there was a dream come true.

Arroyo was sitting in the captain’s chair... completely naked. Her legs were spread, and she was stroking herself gently, moaning softly, and not screaming as she usually did. Spacegirl completely forgot to be outraged by the breach of protocol, so aroused she was. Her hands fumbled at the zipper of her uniform, but she halted, grabbing frantically for some shred of propriety.
"Don't be shy, captain. Frankly I could use your tongue right now" Arroyo's voice was full of teasing mockery, and Hitomi couldn't resist. She peeled off her uniform, and was instantly on her knees before the young woman, greedily licking her honey sweetness. So dedicated was she to her task, that she did not notice Chin and T'Karra sneaking up behind her.
