After the medicae confirms that he won't die, you start a quick interrogation. Stripping his helmet and mask, you keep him lying on the ground with your sabre across his throat. You take notice of his equipment, a combination of heavy-duty mining gear, civilian clothing, and PDF stock. The armour that stopped your lasfire is a re-appropriated safety carapace, designed to stop falling rocks or machinery from crushing internal organs. The headgear is similarly designed to stop debris, but also effective against weaponry. He also had a full breathing mask, presumably to stop dust and noxious gasses. The lasguns that they were reaching for are obviously supplied by the traitorous PDF.
"Bad news, scum. That tingling feeling is thermal shock. Your internal organs are scrambled, and your blood is changing its chemical balance as we speak. Now, you can either spill your guts and take the next ride out to a planetside hospital, or lie here for a few hours as your body shuts down."
There's a long silence. You break it along with his left hand, using your boot. He cooperates.

"Better. Question one: Is Ollious Jorgan in this area?" (pointing to suspected map location)
The traitor says yes.
"Have the most of the forces in this sector already been sent to counter the other attacks?"
The traitor says yes.
"Are there any loyal PDF or civilians imprisoned in this area?" (pointing to suspected map location)
The traitor says yes.
"Are there any heavy weapon emplacements, traps or other surprises between us and Ollious Jorgan?"
The traitor admits that some heavy mining lasers have been set up as stationary emplacements.
"Excellent. You have earned my mercy, and the Emperor's. Go to him with a heart free of guilt."
You execute him with a shot to the head.
"We should get going quick-smart, sir" Mergen says, hefting his grenade launcher. "The longer we're here, the worse things are going to get. The prisoners are out of the way, but not terribly so. They're bound to be guarded, and that gives more time for our target to escape or prepare defenses. Getting some extra hands to join us can't be a bad thing though, and I can't say what these dogs will do to them once we extract."
