Sarah's Weatherproof Trousers

These pragmatic trousers are worn during stark exchanges in the control room, their fabric treated to withstand environmental stress. Sturdier than standard clothing, they show signs of recent travel with creases holding their shape despite unfolding crises. The material resists snagging on equipment consoles as Sarah moves between stations. During flooded Transmat Station encounters, the same garment adapts to new environments—its waterproof qualities becoming evident as it repels moisture while retaining functionality. The trousers blend practical, modular design with prolonged wear demands, holding up under pressure when functional movement matters most.
