Last Chapter Recap: This goddamn bitch… just you watch, one day, you'll become my slave as well, Selana! You'll put a database of yours into your pussy and present it to me!! I swear!!!

NOW

Crew Deck

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!" Adam hissed under his breathe, fists clenched.

Because of an earlier conversation, I'm unable to focus on anything. Right now, I should be giving a good dicking to my new slave, but that goddamn women have no mercy.

At least Ivanna handled the situation masterfully. However, I can't help but think captain's trust towards her has dropped. Ivanna's value as an asset might be lower than I wanted.

"What's wrong, Ensign?" Brody asked with a playful smile. "You look like you're about to kill someone."

"It's just stress, Lt. Brody," Adam said, exhaling slowly. "First the mission, now all this follow-up work... it's a lot."

Right now, I'm alone on the deck with this guy. Yeah, on a ship full of sexy women. Lady luck, what the hell?! Fuck, at least give me lt. Titties to look at!

"Wait a second..." Adam said, narrowing his eyes. "Why isn't Lt. Laura with us?"

"Hm... come to think of it, she is taking her sweet time," Brody said, glancing toward the corridor. "It's not like her to be late. Very unusual."

My conversation with lt. Brody is interrupted by a familiar yet annoying sound.

"What the hell?" Adam said, eyes locked on the screen. "There's no ship within our range!"

"You're right," Brody said, his expression turning serious. "That means it's either a malfunction... or something worse."

"Attention, crew," Heidi's voice came through the comms, sharp and urgent. "There has been an armed incident on the upper deck.

Major Aurora, Ensign Adam, Ensign Natasha—report to the crew deck immediately.

All other personnel, return to your quarters at once. This is not a drill!"

Armed incident?! What the hell… there's no way the that a stuck-up captain would allow for any mistakes like this!

"What the hell is going on, Lt. Brody?" Adam asked, eyes narrowing.

"I have no idea," Brody said, his voice tense. "We'll have to ask the captain directly."

Just a few seconds later, captain, accompanied by commander Heidi and major Aurora walks into the crew deck, visibly agitated. I can't help but ponder, what could've happened? We just had our briefing after all.

"Captain," Brody saluted sharply. "What happened?"

"My first mutiny, it seems," the captain said, her voice cold and measured.

"Mutiny?!" Adam asked, his voice rising in surprise. "You're telling me we're dealing with a mutiny?"

(A/N: Mutiny—an act of a group of people, especially sailors or soldiers, refusing to obey the person in command.)

"That's right," Heidi said, her voice steady but with an edge of urgency. "Lt. Chand tried to attack Princess Tila."

"What—" Adam said, his voice cracking slightly. "Are you serious?"

"Captain, that's impossible!" Brody said, shaking his head. "Lt. Chand is—"

"I know, Brody," Selana said, her tone steely. "But right now, Lt. Chand has occupied part of the lower decks, and Lt. Laura is his hostage."

"I'll be brief," Selana said, her voice steady but firm as she addressed everyone present. "Lt. Chand and two of his subordinates attacked Princess Tila. The attack failed because of the princess's swift actions. But before we could reach the scene, Lt. Chand captured Lt. Laura and retreated to the lower decks."

"Huh? Why?!" Natasha asked, her brow furrowed in disbelief.

"I'd like to know that as well, Ensign," Selana said, her gaze intense. "However, right now, rescuing Lt. Laura and eliminating the mutineers takes first priority. That's why I gathered you three."

"Major Aurora, as Chief Security Officer, will lead the attack," Heidi said, her tone sharp. "You two ensigns will act as backup. You have permission to use small arms if necessary."

"We?" Adam asked, his tone sharp with concern. "What about the engine? What if the Chief Engineer is trying to sabotage us—"

"Engine is secondary, no, tertiary matter," Selana said, her voice steady. "Worst case scenario, we'll finish the mission on backup propulsion."

"What about Lt. Chand?" Adam asked, his voice low and serious. "Should we take him alive or dead?"

"If possible, I'd like to know the reason for this sudden mutiny," Selana said, her voice calm but determined. "However, I believe an autopsy might give us some answers as well. In any case, if Lt. Chand resists, you're authorized to eliminate him."

"Understood," Aurora snapped, her tone tense. "Shit, that guy was in charge of repairs... I only have one turret left!"

(A/N: A turret is a mounted gun, capable of rotating to aim and fire in various directions.)

"That's why I'm lending you Ensign Adam and Ensign Natasha," Selana said, her voice firm but with a touch of urgency. "Use them as you see fit."

"Hmm..." Aurora said, putting aside Natasha. "I'm not sure Ensign Adam is the best choice for this kind of mission..."

"His combat assessment was favourable," Selana said, her voice edged with tension. "He should be of some use. I'd lend you Brody—but someone has to cover for the others. We can't afford to leave any more gaps."

My combat grades were good because I have Ava and my cheat like skills! For fuck sake, this woman will be an end of me!

"Don't tell me you're scared, Ensign?" Selana asked, a slight smirk playing on her lips as she looked at Adam.

"Leave it to me, Captain!" Adam said, standing tall with a confident grin.

Because I want Laura as my slave... so even if you didn't tell me to, I'd still have to save her.
