Both elimination of the targets on the hitlist as well as the capture of any present Pleroma had been part of the mission objectives for those sent to Venera. Ideally he would succeed at both, but given his current position on the ground he doesn't exactly have room to negotiate, and he's not foolish enough to think he can keep an eye on both Thoma as well as his prisoner.
Eventually, he gives in. The opportunity to capture one of the Pleroma far outweighs the potential capture of a Veneran rebel with no powers and little money to their name. He's not fully convinced this isn't some sort of trap still and the tension in his body remains, his grip tight around his weapons even as he remains pinned. ]
