Buckles first, zippers later (for the jumpsuit, naturally), but right now, the utility belt and the jetpack really had to be the most important, since nothing would slip off properly with them still in place.

Get the armor off and she wouldn't be cold from it; metal chilled but he always ranged a few degrees warmer than normal (part of being cloned, everything ran a bit hotter, always at maximum, odd side-effect). Wrist gauntlets had to be unfastened before he could work his gloves off, which proved to be a chore in itself, but once he had managed it -
