In order to get more people comfortable with voting (and, frankly, because I do agree with the concerns), here's a less ambitious gas mask for this revision phase
(Also, one that keeps our naming scheme intact now that I think about it):
M1 Hau KaiThe LIE... is a problem, and the Grand Fleet Design Group has finally turned its attention to dealing with it and making the lives of our soldiers much easier. But stuck with little time and effort to spare between larger projects (even if those projects explode), there has been some stated concern that other proposed models such as the Hunahuea and Aka may ultimately be too ambitious and leave the Design Group with very little to show for the season. The Hau Kai is meant to be a more conservative. The Hau Kai is a fairly simple full-face mask, made primarily of rubber (incl. the seals of the mask), with plastic lenses (unless these prove too difficult to produce in sufficient clarity and strength; we use glass, then) and a single, activated-carbon filter to purify the air, although soldiers are given a couple of replacement filters -- with the nature of the LIEs, exposure to toxic gas for long periods of time is unexpected, but it is entirely possible that a soldier may have to deal with multiple clouds of LIE gas over the course of a battle.
Additionally, the mask has a heavy earmuff near each ear, which is attached to the side of the mask on one side and can be placed or buckled down over the ear in order to block the soldier's hearing. This is an early attempt to test the potential of simply blocking the sound of the Embralese Sikari masks with a fairly primitive solution, and if this works to see if Inithari soldiers can indeed communicate through non-verbal means effectively.
