What happens when you put someone inside a rubric marine's armor?

Is there any example of this happening in lore? Does it damage the person? The rubric marine? Neither?

Once the armor closes over their head, a stillness descends. The wind seems to hold it's breath as the latches clamp, and the internal atmosphere pressurizes. Then, a scream. It goes on and on, longer than any man has the breath for, louder and louder. The sound becomes painfully loud, and distorted. The ground shudders and cracks, crawling away in terror from the abominable shell. Rocks begin to fly. The wind joins his howls in a twisting chorus of exstacy, and the armor makes it's first move. Both hands raise into the air, and the face lifts to gaze into the sky, in tribute to something that should never draw breath. And then the screaming stops, and breathe it does, a deep, murky inhale that sucks the souls from mortal bodies. The suit swells. It's rivets pop, it's plates buckle outwards. There is a loud twang of metal twisting beyond it's limits, and then a crack, a second, and a third, of solid, warp strengthened ceramite ripping assunder. The creature emerges from a devastating explosion, tearing free from it's bondage with a triumphant scream. The shattered remains of the armor scatter, another loyal son of Magnus destroyed forever, as the line between what is true and what is false twists helplessly like a gnat in a web. The Lord of Change, called forth through great sacrifice, begins it's terrible work of unmaking the minds of the Red King's enemies... btw I made this all up I have no idea what happens.

I could see the Rubric Armor being permanently sealed by warp fuckery. So no way someone could wear it

That's actually in their canon description; the joints in their armor are all sealed.

You can't put someone in a Rubrics armour, but you can put the Dust in someone else's armour while they're still alive.

They won't be alive much longer as they're about to become the new Rubric.

Sounds like a great counterboarding weapon to use against space marines: rubric dust in the ventilation system Probably also space marine corpses. Leave no man behind.

You'd probably die from inhaling 10.000 years of trapped ghost farts.

I don't think Rubric Armour can even be dissembled to begin with, the armour is entirely sealed with warp sorcery.

I think you'd be stuck in a Rubric Marine. Reassembling the suit just revives the marine.

What happens after that is probably you suffocating to death, I don't think Rubric Marines possess any form of psychic power, so you'd just be stuck there.

I am sure Full Metal Alchemist went over this at some point.
