    yes, that is true for absolute majority of officers in absolute majority of crews, both real and imaginary.

    the mutiny happens when there is enough mutineers to take control. if there is not enough of them, then there is no mutiny.

      Just also quote the part where I said we’d need an elaborate plot to have the CMO create a mutiny that officers go along with. Then there wouldn’t be any confusion

          Sure except this is Star Fleet, which is science fiction, so we have every reason to assume that a mutiny would only occur for good reason, like when Kirk was possessed. An evil CMO trying to illegitimately seize power would indeed require an elaborate plot.

      The word “mutiny” just means that an insurrection took place; it does not imply success or failure. A 1-person mutiny is still a mutiny, even if the odds of success are minimal.
