[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

I do believe the game is rather strict about splitting up. Remember when we lost Hermes? And even if it is possible, splitting up makes little sense from a tactical viewpoint.(Latta, why can't the Mercury come with the Cupid? Is that planet that dangerous? Are you sending us there to die?)

Yeah, we might not have their POV, but we can always meet up again, like we did with Geko and Prometheus did with Captain Hermes.

Athena's controlling Latta, and she obviously knows what we're doing, so I'm sure she can come up with something - even if it's something completely ridiculous like "I am a fucking coffee cup and I am going to literally throw myself into the centre of the universe for adventure, who's with me. The Mercury is literally indestructible after all lol"
Therefore, getting the extra ship and opening up additional party 'slots' while we can do it for free seems pretty wise to me.
