ORION PARTNERSHIP AGENT DEPLOYMENT
As a galactic peacekeeping organization, the Orion Partnership has many Agents who are deployed around the universe for their work. These agents usually work alone, and maintain a connection with Partnership HQ in case they need backup or more information.

So why do Traze and Helk work as a team?

Helk: Please excuse my partner.

Helk: -mmph?
Traze: We can do that, but can I ask why?]

The answer is honestly a lot more simple than you’d think. Neither are a rookie agent who needs a supervisor, nor is this any sort of punishment issued to them for breaking protocol, or anything like that.

No, the answer is quite simply that Helk is autistic and sometimes misses social cues that are important for a Peacekeeping Agent to notice.
