The title inspired by Gamerpoop video.
"With all due respect, you want me to do what?!"
Ashley would be surely furious if she wasn't so shocked. In fact, she wasn't even sure if she was really awake. Discretely she pinched her forearm.
"I won't be lying to you, Staff Lieutenant Williams." Admiral Hackett answered her, as stoic as always, completely indifferent toward her outbreak. "We've been trying to hide it, but the Alliance is in wrecked condition. The recent events greatly damaged us. Loss of many colonies, heroic Commander Shepard working for or with a terrorist organization, shattering of a Mass Relay, and thus the destruction of a Batarian planet... Earth governments are cutting our funds. Greatly."
"So you're launching this... erotic cam show?" Ashley blushed slightly. "With me? Why me?"
"Because you're h..." Admiral Anderson started, but quickly sobered up. Calling his subordinate hot in front of his superior would surely mean at least an official reprimand. Even if it was true. "Because you're a dedicated soldier, and for this task we need someone the Alliance can completely trust. We also ran some tests on focus groups and you gave the best response."
Ashley sighed slightly. She was still angry, but unexpectedly felt also a little bit flattering. She straightened up and saluted.
"Sir, yes, sir!" She shouted officially. "I'll do it. By the way, what's the show's name?"
"Battle Tits."
Ashley was walking around her room in the Alliance complex, smiling constantly and humming a happy tune. Today was the day of her next stream, and as always on such days she was in a good mood and couldn't wait to start. It was 3 months since 'Battle Tits' launched and Williams giggled, remembering how disastrous her first show was - she completely lost her temper after some mean comments from the trolls on the audience, and they actually needed to stop the stream to avoid it being unrecoverable.
But it was the past, the present was completely different. After some help from an external consultant, Ashley was able to overcome her temper and eventually her show became a huge hit! And not only for the audience but for Ash as well - though initially hesitant, she discovered she liked the attention and really enjoyed doing all the lewd stuff in front of the camera. That's why her quarter was more a studio than a room now, with multiple cameras, microphones, and lights set in all different spots, which allowed her to be visible online from everywhere in the room and filmed from many angles.
The show was about to start in five minutes, so Ashley did the last preparation. She checked herself in a large mirror to make sure she looked good from every direction (she did!) and applied the last-minute tweaks to her hair, make-up, and outfit. She also scanned the desk to verify if she had all she needed nearby. Finally, she sat on the gaming chair (she sometimes did gaming streams as well, but as an extra only) and seeing at the clock that the time was right, she started her stream.
"Hello Battle Titters!" She exclaimed, smiling and waving her hands to the camera. Battle Titters was a nickname someone called her viewers once and she liked it so much that she adopted it immediately.
In reaction, the chat exploded with all types of "his", "hellos", "welcomes" and other greetings. Many people were logged in way before Ash, waiting for their favorite camgirl to appear. Some even already tipped her, but the amount of cash was minimal - they were waiting for the good stuff.
"For those who don't know me yet, my name is Ashley Williams - you can call me Ash - and I'm an Alliance soldier." She introduced herself, holding her ID in front of her camera. Without proof, many didn't believe she was really in the military. "My show is sponsored by the Alliance, and all funds I collect go directly to our boys and girls in blue."
The chat once again reacted flawlessly. More tips were given, together with a wave of comments like "Alliance forever!", "Go humans!" and "#withourboys", but also "where's Shepard?", "killers!" and "#councilwasright". Ashley, however, didn't even fling - she learned to ignore such comments long ago - instead focusing on more positive messages like "Frankly? You're too hot to be a soldier!", "She could kill me on the battlefield any time" and "Williams >>> Hackett".
"We're still waiting for laggards, so I think we can chat a little." She cooed. "For starters, how do you like my hair today?" She was wearing two messy buns, which fit well with a surprise she had prepared for the chat.
However, now they were all about complimenting her, though there were also some voices like "Not your style" or "You look better when they're loose". Even those people were 99.9% respectful, so she didn't mind - after all, she asked.
Soon though the opinions were replaced by questions, and Ashley decided to answer some of them.
"What's my rank? It's Staff Lieutenant. Yep, that makes me an officer. High? Maybe, I didn't think about it that way." That was a sort of lie - she was proud of her rank and wished her father could see her. Not right now of course.
"What's my favorite weapon? Call me conservative, but it's the M-8 Avenger. Although I'll always think warmly about the M-7 Lancer. Sniper rifles? Yeah, they're my second choice, but I prefer assault rifles. Let enemies see who killed them. What? No, I'm not wearing swimwear into battle. Not nice!"
"Middle name? Madeline. What? Not threatening enough? Jeez, who thinks of such things when naming a child! Yeah, I have three sisters. No, I won't tell you their names."
"Where are my viewers from? Well, most of them are humans and asari, but Battle Titters are everywhere! We even have a small but faithful batarian community!" She smiled seeing someone commenting "Alliance + Hegemony = <3", clearly having no basic knowledge about galactic politics nor history.
The playful banter ran for a quarter or so, but soon Ashley spotted that the chat became a little impatient. And, frankly, she felt the same way - she wanted some play she was waiting for the whole day!
"Ok, Titters, I have a surprise for you!" She said and stood up, going to the middle of the room so her whole figure was visible. "How do you like my outfit?"
This time the chat really exploded! Messages, emojis, and - what's the most important - tips flew from everywhere, and Ashley grinned widely. That was the exact effect she (and the Alliance) was aiming for with her newest suit.
Because what Ashley wore was... a cheerleader costume! The long-sleeved top left her toned midriff bare, and the short skirt showed her long muscular legs. All in the Alliance colors of course - blue and black - with the organization logo on the chest. Combined with double buns on her head, it created an image both innocent and hellishly sexy.
The chat obviously agreed. There were of course some comments like "A grown-up woman dressed as a teen? Gross!" and even messages calling her names, but all of them drowned in likes and compliments. "She for sure exercises!", "You can bounce a coin on this belly!", "I wish my girlfriend was so hot" were prime examples, but even simple "You look great!" and "Those legs!" warmed Williams' heart.
Laughing, she swirled around and her skirt flew when she allowed her viewers to see the outfit (and herself) from all angles. The most perceptive ones could even catch a glimpse of Ashley's butt and weren't shy to let others in the chat know.
"I can see you like it, thanks!" Ashley said when she returned to her chair. "And the best part? You can buy one at enet://alliance.hu/shop! Link's in my bio, and all funds go directly to the Alliance!"
Looking at the chat, she knew that it hit a jackpot! "I'm definitely buying one for my girlfriend!" from men and "I have to wear that next time I'm meeting my boyfriend" from women were the most common type of responses, though the best answer was definitively "F**k my girlfriend, I'm buying one for myself!"
Among those comments there were also some like "The outfit's great, but what lies under it?", "Show us the real goods!" and peach or cherries emoji... and Ashley decided it was the time to take another step forward.
