We three dismissed that solution considering:
- last time all factors were against VH&IW, and it was retreat or death for them, hit & run would not have worked against that many exalts.
- they still managed to get away from us (meaning that they can move pretty fast, so we had to expect hit & run tactics and them stalling us for back up to arrive)
- this time we were clearly at a disadvantage (distance - objective: saving the humans - surprise - behind enemy lines - damage - precision)
- Malek was already low on motes, it was a one way trip, and considering VH's damage and precision he was gonna go down anyway if he failed to disarm the bastard
On top of all that:
- Rhapsody up there wouldn't have made much difference she'd just have taken a few of VH's attacks, but the threat on Malek would not have changed
- IW was around too and he'd have gotten to Malek - or worst... Rhapsody - the exact same way that he finished Malek with that unexpected attack, so one of the two would have been seriously wounded and Malek was low on motes with no PD... VH would have finished them off quickly.
At best if every roll had been in our favor they would have retreated for a minute or two, and then counterattacked with back up, and since we had no way of going back quickly to the captives, Malek and Rhapsody would have been both taken down.
It was a desperate situation with no good ending possibility, the trio was not fit to handle VH & IW, Malek was condemned to go down after the first wave of shots, so it was really not worth risking two solars instead of only one.
