"That... sounds like a really bad idea. And trust me, I know a lot about bad ideas. Practically wrote the book on bad ideas.
Those shuttles are dropping nukes to draw their fire. Bringing one here would mean that the fire would be directed here. Making it more likely for us to get hit.
Now, the longer we stay here, the more likely it becomes to get hit. But the danger would probably become much worse if we have a shuttle that dropped some nukes fly next to us or under us or whatever.
If you want to risk the transfer, then either you bring a lot of shuttles, position the centre of the swarm away from us so that it's more likely to be targeted and we make the transfer then, but that has the danger of us getting targeted by an AoE attack or getting unlucky.
Or we can bring a few of the shuttles and have them fly relatively low over the planet at different altitudes, dropping some nukes to make sure they draw the planet's fire. I can drop as they pass below us. If I time it right and am lucky enough, then I can grab at least one of those shuttles and fly away with it. With some luck, the planet will focus on the shuttles attacking it rather than the one not doing anything to it.
Or we can let the shuttles keep doing what they're doing and hope that they're distracting the planet sufficiently. After all, the planet should prioritize them over us. If we're lucky, it will use slow rounds for a slow armoured target, things we can shoot and that the ampers can either stop or at least help slow so that they stop once they hit my armour. If we're really lucky, it won't have the resources to spare to target us. If we're really really lucky, the nerve cluster didn't have time to communicate details about us to the others so it shouldn't even know we are a threat. We can make the transfer once we're further away from the planet and safer and can thus afford to have some shuttles break off and retreat with us. At that range, it will probably be unable to target us successfully. Hopefully it won't have time to develop hypervelocity cannons.
Or I could try using my thrusters to help, but one of the main thrusters has been damaged and is thus not as powerful. And I haven't used them since it was damaged, so I can't confirm their safety. If any of you is good with machines, you can secure yourself with a rope, get out and with some tools and help me fix Gilgamesh's thrusters so I can go faster and be safer, but doing so while flying would be dangerous in itself.
Either way, there's risk involved. The point is to minimize it. And that takes some talking with your mind and with your guts. Now personally, I wouldn't mind risking my life if it meant better odds for the rest of you. But the question is, would it?"
