Love the pics, Sent. I can't blame you for obsessing a little over a cute red LDS. Even in a sketch form she's lovely ^^
Regarding Rena, I think the TG should be caused by something unusual and relatively quiet, so that she's not immediately outed and taken off somewhere for scientific examination (or simply returned to her male form if he can afford it). Perhaps something happened in hyperspace, the ship she was on encountered something strange that either only affected her.
How about this. Reno was an engineer aboard a fairly unimportant free trader. The ship wasn't in very good condition, and the commander played fast and loose with the rules, and because of this Reno is sent into the engineering spaces while the ship is in hyperspace (a big no-no, because the spaces aren't as well shielded as the rest of the ship, and strange things happen to things exposed to hyperspace). While out there, he got to meet one of these strange things, which transformed him (she no idea why, godlike 5-dimensional hyperminds are hard to fathom) and empowered the new girl (perhaps she has a direct hyperlink to a higher dimensional energy source, something to power possible strange 'magical girl abilities).
Once the change has been discovered by the crew, the captain of the ship doesn't want to get into trouble (loss of his ship and command licence for putting a crew member out of shielding in hyperspace), so he, Rena and the crew (since no ship = no jobs for them) arrange some fake papers for the new girl, and a promotion to chief engineer to sweeten the deal and keep her from running off and blabbing.
How's that?
