the original helmet, shipped standard, protecting the only organ that ever asks why

means The bony framework of the head that encloses and protects the brain and forms the structure of the face.

from From Middle English 'scolle,' of uncertain root — possibly Scandinavian, a cousin of Old Norse 'skoltr' or words for a shell or bowl, fittingly enough, since the skull is the body's own cap. It eventually edged out the older English 'heafod-ban' (head-bone) and the Latin-derived 'cranium' for everyday speech, though the exact path remains murky.
