Interesting comm exchange from ISS. Sunny has an "ecoc", an EVA related kit, on board ISS. Hard to believe there is a planned EVA with her but it is there in case an emergency EVA is needed?

I went acronym hunting - ECOK, EVA Crew Options Kit. It's the bag of crew preference items for EVAs like MAGs, moleskin, valsalva nose pincher things, long underwear, mission patches to tack on the EMU, etc.

Not surprised I misspelled it but the question remains, why is one on orbit for Sunny?

You're probably right that it's for emergency / contingency use. Ken Kremer asked at the crew arrival event about what they'd be doing while on the ISS, and part of Suni's reply was:
One thing that Butch and I are really good at is 'righty tighty, lefty loosey' - we're ready to do any type of maintenance on the Space Station, and they've checked us off for that. We're ready to do any robotics that needs to happen, we're ready to do any spacewalks that happen, so we've got all of our basic quals.
I wonder how long it's been up there, given the previous delays (and that they've gotten reasonably close to launch before having to wave off before).
