This will be the 3rd time I’ve tried to respond. Yuku keeps timing out.

Since you already have some idea of who they are in your game, perhaps they should be close to the same people in Fenspace. Does anyone mind if I put both ladies on the staff of Starbase 1, with Holly the Security Chief and Carmen one of the doctors? (They can even keep "Red Velvet" and "Blue Electron" as their call-signs.)
Honestly, neither one of them would be out if they didn't have their powers. They'd both be 'Danes. They'd both be working off the assets they have and be models.
While Holly is quite adventurous (in many ways), she’s not the kind who would go off-planet looking for it. But, if the Fen were looking for someone (who’s not afraid to be taken into space aboard a ship that, previously, was an Oscar-Meyer delivery truck) to do a publicity photo shoot, Holly would be your girl. She’s not the kind who would play with Wavium as she wouldn’t think she’s smart enough to figure it out. (Holly has a lot of issues.)
Carmen is much more internal, and much more like a ‘Dane. She wouldn’t want to get too far away as she’s still close to both of her parents and their families (her folks are divorced, and her modeling keeps her bouncing between the two). She, also, would work for the Fen, but only on short-term contracts. She doesn’t have anything against the Fen, she’s just not sure what all the hubbub is about. She wouldn’t play with Wavium as she’d be concerned of it changing her into something she wouldn’t want to be.
ETA: All that being said . . . you're still welcome to use them, but I would recommed neither of them being something terribly special. Holly should just be in security (she's competent, but still young), and Carmen's a Nurse, not a Doctor (still young and not sure that's what she wants to do).

First, thank you for the tips...
maybe its time to explain a little bit what I have for a concept of the station in mind.
The basic building element of the base is a board.
A board is a 8x8 meter steel surface which mounts infrastructure on one side, the other side points to vacuum. An inner wall is put on from the other side to hide the infrastructure, forming a 'wall' of one meter thickness. Boards can be put together in a 90° angle or parallel to each other. The connection is semi-permanent, but with the right tools you can get two boards apart again.
Some boards mount a large airlocks to allow getting in and out of the base, others contain life support, energy reactors, sensors or small point defense weapons. Many are just 'empty' inside except tubes and cables.
A module is a cube built out of boards, which look like the 'shipping containers' in the picture. At the state the station is in the picture, all modules are two or three boards long and one board wide and high. The inner space of a module is 6x6 meters large and 14 to 22 meters long (as long as you don't built different modules). Many have an intermediate ceiling that splits it into an upper and lower deck.
The modules are put together with airlocks facing airlocks to create the whole base.
Still, you wouldn’t want a truly flat surface in space (unless you’re trying to capture sunlight). A textured surface increases surface area and allows you to radiate heat and keep direct sunlight off of a large chunk of your object at once.
