Another setting q: Technology skill. How well will that translate 1000+ years into the future?

BACKGROUND
Jacen and Jaina Van Dyke were twin heirs to the Van Dyke Research Corp fortune. When their parents died under mysterious circumstances they became majority stockholders in the company. At the time of their father Tyler Van Dyke's death, Jacen was already Chief Financial Officer of the company and Jaina was Chief Technology Officer. Jacen moved up to CEO after approval by the board of directors.
In their youth, Jacen and Jaina were inseparable. They traveled the world together. As teens, they were traveling through the alps when the stumbled upon a pair of dead aliens, later they found out they were Nree-ut. The aliens were both wearing matching circlets and the twins could tell the circlets had some kind of power. With study, Jaina learned how to activate the circlets but a short power spike happened because no one was wearing the circlets while she did tests. Finally, Jacen put one on and still nothing happened so Jaina put on the other one. Instantly Jacen's body vanish and Jaina's turned into a helmet that also transformed her into flying powerhouse. While in that form, Jacen existed only in Jaina's mind able to see and advise Jaina what to do.
Over time, they learned how to make the circlets look less like alien tech and more like a choker necklace that they both wear. Either of them can initiate the transformation. And whoever initiates the transformation becomes the "driver" but because Jaina did it first, Binary always looks like a woman.
They were reluctant to do anything as Binary until their parent's death. Then they sought out the culprits responsible and brought them to justice.
COMPLICATIONS
Identity: The fact that these corporate bigwigs are also a superhero would be scandalous and be a reason the board might use to leverage them out of the company.
Motivation: Justice: The mysterious death of their parents is why they started being Binary in public. The need for justice continues to motivate them.
Power Loss: Some forms of force field, separating the twins could prevent them from forming the Binary amalgam.
Relationship, Lack Thereof: Their closeness makes it hard for them to maintain personal romantic relationships. They are always inside each other's heads and it is kind of weird to be part of the experience your sibling and someone else kissing.
Responsibility: They are important corporate officers in a major worldwide conglomerate.
TOTALS: Abilities: 48 + Powers: 83 + Advantages: 8 + Skills: 8 + Defenses: 3 -> 150
