"We cannot outrun the alien fighters. This means if the Icarus or the combat drones can't bind them we are done. They sure denying us to fly close to the Icarus. Maybe they just try to disable our ship. But they sure will give the Icarus a reason to stay. If we go down, we limit their options and have our fate in our hand. Maybe later we have a better chance. So the Icarus can try everything without taking care of us. Sure in the orbit we have a time advantage, but it is worth nothing unless we have enough time to fly to a zone were the Icarus can pick us up," Knight said.
"Yes, this would also mean we need to fly a certain distance away from the planet undetected. So the enemy fighters need to be destroyed. Maybe then they cannot observe everything and we could use the cover of the planet," Ryan replied. He thought also it would be better to go down. Even if there was the possibility that the shuttles would be destroyed, while they hide in the cave.
"I guess somehow will Fisher try to get them further away from the planet. So it still will be a tuff thing to trick them. But without enemy fighters we should be the faster. This means there is a way to get to the Icarus," Owens said.
"Good, we are going down. I inform the Captain," Ryan decided.
