This team was the 50-States Initiative team for the state of Delaware. These two women can be seen on the 2-page splash pages 5 and 6. They are on the far right side of the 2-page image. They are standing right behind Sybil Dvorak (a.k.a. "Skein", the former Gypsy Moth) and Pretty Persuasions (of Psionex), and right in front of Diamondback. Both of these women have long black hair.
