[ Steve wants to go out there. Wedge weights the pros and cons like laser fire in his headβif the drones penetrate the hull, if they enter the ship, it'll be a two-front battle they can't afford. It'll lessen their odds to a point where even Wedge, who's made a career out of impossible odds, balks. ]
Go. [ Wedge says to Steve, jaw tight. The drones aren't just swarming, they're throwing themselves like sacrificial lambs to keep them for getting to the leg. This will test their gunners' ability to the max and, if Bucky wasn't at one of the turrets, Wedge would've taken his chances with the thickened hull instead.
Which is why, when Black Widow requests to go with Steve, Wedge's stomach returns to its rightful place. ] Take whatever you need. [ He reminds her, unwilling to babysit a crew that's career by telling them what weapons they should use. They all know their own strengths and weakness; Wedge's job is only to make sure everyone is in their rightful positions, doing their duty.
It always sounds so much easier than it actually is. That's why he hates command, and why he avoided it for so longβwhile his people are out there, taking risks, he sits pretty inside.
It feels like letting them down. ] Take evasive actions, Luke. Try to minimize the amount of area we give these drones. [ So it'll be harder for them to anchor themselves to the ship and, with that, an easier time for Steve and Black Widow.
