Everyone should have goggles for missions, just in case they end up in a situation such as this. It was hard to justify in the past when every expense item had to be evaluated and signed-off on, but everybody here owns plenty of funds, right?

[Shouldn't be any problem with them getting a pair to have on hand, even if their eyesight is perfect!]

[Bird-shaped cacti.. they certainly sound interesting, and Hange wouldn't mind seeing one, but Jean is right in the sense that having one slammed into you because it can't find its way in the storm sounds like an uncomfortable time for everyone involved.]

Mmm.. I suppose we'll have to be as mindful as we can. The hoods give us some protection at least.. but maybe we'll get lucky and the winds die down. 'Sandstorm' doesn't mean it has to be absolutely raging, after all!
