Due to the method of entering the compound, Shiomi was able to leave behind a lot of the extra equipment she had brought, like the wet suit.  She had some reservations on just entering though the front gate in disguise, not that she couldn't do it but the plain fact that after the Princess Massacre it was even less likely for Japanese to be part of the Britannian military.  To make this successful she had to draw as little attention to herself as possible, so she made sure to hide her hair under the helmet and cover her face as much as possible while riding in the jeep.

It was a bit rude of him but considering he was just trying to make sure the mission was successful it was easy to let it slide, not that it mattered anyway.

She already had all the equipment she needed for the mission.

For now she would stay with the group and remain as silent as possible until she found an appropriate time to infiltrate the compound and complete her mission.  Of course the primary objective came first.
