OP, you have to understand that slipspace is not a forgiving place for people. The drive itself was radioactive, and, when it was attached to the Pelican dropship, unshielded. Furthermore, the radiation present in slipsiace is significantly higher than a nuclear warhead, and the exposure time would be much longer. [i]If[/i] Jorge somehow managed (by some miracle) [i]not[/i] to get ripped apart by the reentry, he would be exposed to so much radiation that radiation sickness would be inevitable. And, just to reiterate that he almost certainly died during the reentry into normal space, consider Operation: FIRST STRIKE. Even though the Spirit used survived the reentry, it was sustained severe structural damage,and was unable to reenter slipspace, despite its heavy structural reinforcements. The odds of someone in just a suit of armor surviving are astronomically slim, if any. The only reason slipspace drives work in the first place is due to very careful engineering, calibrating, and installing; none of which were present during Operation: UPPERCUT.
