*The M-Spec Reentry Pack is likely a two part system, consisting of the back pack device that Noble Six is seen wearing, and also a detachable cockpit system. This is likely because a backpack type Reentry system seems like a very last resort method of survival; and also Jorge needs Six's authorization code to open the cockpit likely meaning that the cockpit section could detach if the rest of the sabre took to much damage and the the Reentry backpacks were just a backup in case cockpit also took excessive damage.
