Tendi was exhausted after her shift. Dr. T'Ana had been particularly keen to let her work on multiple patients and projects. Tendi wanted to make sure that she could do her absolute best in all of them, so she was pushing herself as hard as she could. She really wanted to become a Senior Officer.
Rutherford, Boimler and Mariner had asked her to go to the mess hall with them after Beta shift, but she just wanted to get back to her bunk, not only because she was exhausted, but also because she sometimes found herself reverting to what she thought of as her Orion nature when she was tired and then started exuding even more pheromones.
She thought of taking some more of her daily pheromone blockers, but they also had the effect of not allowing her to sleep.
She definitely did not want her "Orion nature" to ever affect her friends. The pheromones could repulse Mariner (although she wasn't sure as she knew Mariner liked women), but would cause Boimler and Rutherford to increase the production of various neural chemicals that would result in them becoming a drunken, subservient mess ... probably obsessed Tendi. That being said, she often wondered if Rutherford's implants would negate the effects of the pheromones. One day, she might ask him to do some experimenting to see. He was her best friend (and she secretly thought he was very cute too.)
This evening, though she loved their company, she was just too zonked to take more blockers in order to spend more time with her friends. She just needed this time to recharge so she could do her best to impress Dr. T'Ana the next day.
She went first to take a sonic shower. Normally, the communal showers were full of other crew members, but Beta shift were all at the mess hall, so she had the room to herself and could just relax.
She tried so hard to suppress her sexuality when the showers were full of people that it was nice to just relax and enjoy the sonic waves cleansing her naked green body.
As she relaxed, her mind began to drift and she was thinking of Rutherford and how smart and funny he was. Her nipples started to harden on her firm, round green breasts with her dark green areloae becoming more sensitive to the sonic waves hitting them. She began to feel her cunt get moist as she continued her showering. She started to feel the familiar tingle and exhilaration of her pheromone glands releasing their intoxicating chemicals. Sooo goood ...
With a start, she came to her senses and quickly turned off the shower, wrapped herself in a towel and left the shower room. She didn't want anyone coming into the area and being affected. She had worked so hard to be taken seriously as an Orion and not some pirate, slave or master. She was an ensign in Starfleet and this was the thing of which she was most proud.
She walked through the corridor to her bunk. She looked around furtively to make sure no one was there and then quickly put her towel in the infrared hamper and climbed into her bunk naked.
She tapped a few buttons on her control pad and the privacy shield came down. She then tapped a few more and a bluish hue surrounded the walls of her bunk. This was a field that she had invented to block and destroy the pheromones as she slept. It had been 100 percent effective. She never wanted anyone to think that she had used her abilities to influence people.
She remembered with embarrassment the time she had been at Starbase Earhart with Mariner. Some Nausicaans had accused her of being able to use her pheromones to influence a game of domjot. She had acted highly insulted and had said that "she wasn't even that kind of Orion" to Mariner. However, the fact remained that if she hadn't been on her blockers, she could have, as Mariner suggested, "juiced it up" and had those Nausicaans eating out of their hands. But, she would absolutely NEVER do this. She thought of the human saying about letting the genie out of the bottle ...
Now, alone in her cubicle with all her safeguards, she could relax, and, although she was tired, after that shower, she also was extremely horny. She thought that she might cum before enjoying a long restful sleep.
She started by gently pinching her dark green, very erect nipples. It felt so good. She turned on the screen on the roof of her bunk. The screen was almost half the length of the bunk and was used primarily for entertainment during crew down time.
Instead of watching something provocative, she turned the camera function on so she could look at her naked body. Even though she tried to contain her sexuality in everyday life, she actually had an incredible body with perfect round tits, shapely curves through her middle, long legs and an incredible ass. She admired herself in the camera as she tweaked her nipples. She often used these times of self-indulgence to reconnect with herself as an extremely sensual being,
