Sioban and Rozenwyn Calimore are identical twins, second born to Klaital and Arissa Calimore—both computer programmers.  Their elder brother is Taldin.<br/>Born 22 years ago on the imperial world of Shedowyn, the girls were not at all pleased with the restrictions of their staid culture and tyrannical government.  Rozewyn was brilliantly intelligent with a voracious appetite for knowledge—especially knowledge of the forbidden—that lead her to such unsavory practices as hacking restricted data bases and shoplifting to pay for banned books.  Sioban was not so intelligent as her sister, but still smart.  She was also insatiably curious and outspoken in her criticism of their culture and the ignorance she felt it represented.  Arissa tried to curb her daughters’ bad habits by encouraging their sectioned studies and pressing them to pursue the arts.  Both girls took extensive dance and music classes.  Rozenwyn also learned a range of crafts from engineering to cooking, while her sister pursued athletics.<br/>Everyone who knew the girl’s was dizzied by the variety of their abilities and the speed at which they were mastered.<br/>On the girl’s sixteenth birthday, they snuck out to dance and drink together at a club with rhythmic synthesized music and an ecstatic holographic light show.  The music was much simpler than what their parents enjoyed or they performed, but the skimpy clothing, hot eyes of the men and women around them, and teasing touches shared with them all—and especially each other—left them intoxicated.<br/>It was this experience that started the girls enjoying the pleasures of each other’s bodies.<br/>Increasingly frustrating their family and the local officials, the girls made ambitious plans for when they graduated school.  They acquired the run down hulk of an abandoned star freighter and quietly restored it to working order.  By the time they turned twenty, it was done, and they left for the frontier with a number of alien girls they’d met at the clubs for company.<br/>They took the nicknames Rose and Silk.  They rarely revealed their true names for fear that some action of theirs would backlash against their family.<br/>They explored the frontier together, scavenging forgotten worlds for lost technology and treasure.  Before their twenty first birthday, they stopped at a world called Larco’s Foley to sell off some artifacts and aquire much needed supplies.  Their they ran afoul of a lecherous space pirate by the name of Moray Darktide, who captured their ship and brought the twins to his bed chambers while their friends were sent to his officers for their entertainment.<br/>The girls were from a conservative world and—despite their rebellious natures—still dreamed of giving their maidenheads to a man they loved deeply, perhaps their husband.<br/>Moray was doing a respectable job of persuading the girl’s otherwise when—while his attentions were focused on Silk—Rose noted a computer console by the bed.  Her eyes pleaded with Silk to distract the pirate before she gave in fully to the pleasures of his hands and lips.<br/>With a whimper, Rose pretended to surrender completely to the pirate and kissed her way down his body.  As her tongue played over his manhood, her sister tapped furiously at the computer.<br/>Rose hacked furiously, needing with all her being to overcome the comptuer’s animating intelegence before her friend’s virtue—and then their freedom—was surrendered to the space pirates.  Something radiant welled up inside her as her hands flew over the holographic keyboard.  With her lips wrapped around the space pirates manhood, Silk glanced up at her sister and noticed she was beginning to glow.  She worked harder to please him, trying to distract the pirate from her sister’s transformation.  She took him as far down her throat as she could, lashing her tongue around his lower vein and humming.<br/>With the essence of a solar exalted merging fully with Rose, she punched the execute command in on her program and a cascade of malfunctions rocked the ship.  As Silk swallowed the space pirate’s seed, the lights flashed out and they could both see the mark of the setting sun blazing on Rose’s forehead in golden essence.  As Moray recovered from his climax, the girls broke into a run from his chambers, the doorway to the hall flashing open, then shooting shut behind them and locking.  They raced for the docks as other sequences fo the program permited their friends to escape.  Three dozen space pirates were waiting in the docks with stun batons and disruptors.  With only her fists, feet, and a need to preserve the lives of the girls she loved, Silk threw herself at the enemy.  In a fighting fury, the sun in eclipse swirled itno existence on her forehead and red-gold rose petals of essence swirled around her.  They stole a ship and fled as Moray reached the docks, his own anima banner burning furiously.<br/>The priate vowed that he would find the girl’s again and make them his!<br/>Meenwhile the girls learned how to use hteir powers as quicly as they did anything else.  They found a series of orichalcum artifacts on foreign worlds to enhance their powers, and very soon, they would meet others like them and find a truly fantastic ship.<br/>Tonight, though, they headed for the hot tub to enjoy each other’s company…<br/>
