Lynn and Bella were best friends and inseparable, spending all their time together. Their mums were best friends too, serving as laser gun technicians on an ion hover ship. Joining the Sea Exploration Service Cadets at the age of twelve had been the best thing ever for Lynn and Bella. Excelling in earning all their competency badges and now at seventeen, enrolling full time as armed protection guards for hover-ship cargo transporters. With full weapons and combat training, they were so good and worked so well together, it was like they had a psychic connection. Always deployed together and simply known as LB in the SES.
Some of the cargo was very valuable, especially the vehicle transporters. There were occasional attacks on these missions from Skravian sea pirates. Old Jack and his black power-jet ship being the most notorious of them.
