Kek & Lel are two Terugan pranksters who served on the TSS Bouncy-Ball until it was stolen by Blackout. They are currently on Atuar Sadiares, sharing an apartment with Kranxx.

Biography
We don't know where on Teruga they came from, and certainly not how they got to be the pilots of a starship for fourteen years, but Kek and Lel have served on the Bouncy-Ball since its launch and until its inevitable takeover. They seem intent on causing mischief and mayhem wherever they go, especially if it infuriates the "people in charge". While in the employ of the Terugan government, it is not known what their official ranks were, though they referred to themselves as "Lieutenant Lel" and "Korporal Kek" during the fourteen-year voyage of the Bouncy-Ball. The reason why nobody threw them out the airlock during that time is that they were the only people on board who knew how to pilot the ship, and all virtual tutorials and information about the ship's controls had been mysteriously destroyed shortly after takeoff.

During the Terugan Civil War at the end of their mission, some of the other crewmembers received a warning from Captain Dan regarding the potential invasion of a powerful enemy on the surface nearby, and brought this information to Kek and Lel. Visibly excited, they raised the ship's ramp and took off without Dan, leaving him behind to fight a Gorn on his own. The enemy, Blackout, teleported on board the ship anyway, and began disposing of Kek and Lel's coworkers. They reacted by thanking Blackout for saving them from a life of relative boredom, and quoting The Dark Knight Rises while poking the terrified communications officer. After that, Kek threw a smoke grenade on the ground which spelled out the words "This ship sucks" before disappearing with an emergency parachute. They floated down to the surface right next to where Dan was walking, so, seeing another opportunity to irritate him as much as possible, they decided to stick with him on the road ahead. The trio journeyed across the war-torn landscape for many weeks before a Red Cross spaceship hovered above them to drop supplies. Kek and Lel both decided that wasn't good enough, and climbed on board the ship to beat up its staff. Once that was done, they threw them out and took the ship for themselves (and Dan) to Atuar Sadiares. Shortly after arriving there, they were asked whether or not they were prepared to pay for their accomodation, but neither of them could remember their bank details so they were thrown in with the homeless. While waiting in the crowd, they spotted Kranxx leaving his space-taxi, and being pursued by its driver for not paying the fare. They marveled at the sight of a real life quasimorph, so they offered to pay the fare for him, but after finding out how much it really was, they punched the guy, took Kranxx and ran.
