Twinned helmets

Rightly suspicious, you ask why in the hell you should do that.
She gestures at her ear like she's got trouble hearing, so you shout. And then try writing your question on paper for her.
She responds with the most devastating counterargument mankind can imagine, "Why not?"
Well she's got you there. You take the golden helmet over your head, to which it quickly responds by tightening its neckpiece against your throat such that you can't remove it. You're starting to ask what the hell is going on when a protrusion fills your mouth and prevents you from asking or saying anything intelligible. The glass dome over your head fades to black, robbing you of vision, and the last thing you see is the lady removing her own dark helmet.
"Jeeeeeeeez, I needed that! Good to be free again I tell you, was in there for WEEKS!"
You feel her pressing the other helmet into your arms, and you're reluctant to take it. Though your vision is blocked, your helmet's internal screen highlights the location of the other one.
"If you want to get that helmet off you'll have to convince someone to put on the other one"
Ah, that makes sense. You take the other helmet into your grasp.
"Thanks for putting that on for me! See you later, or never!"
Well... how exactly are you going to go about convincing someone to put on this suspicious helmet? Especially when you apparently aren't going to be able to talk...
