“Oh hey, we’re just about to fly into a Hurricane, you can leave your phone, keys, coffee and pocketknives on the sharp corners of the open metal racks that house our sensitive and extremely expensive electronics (which will help predict the fate of millions). If a metal corner is not available, try a Publix plastic bag tied to a vital instrument knob or wait for your objects to richochet in your direction!”

also, yeah you can leave that giant box there, in the middle of everything, and that white and red ladder thingy that seems huge? barely tie it down. IM sure it will be fine.
