The Flight choice 3

You don’t respond. Instead, you grab the throttle and head down, in the direction of the lake you noticed earlier. The jets are right on your tail until you actually plunge into the icy cold water. You’ve also noticed earlier that the jets aren’t waterproof, or equipped for offensive fighting. They can’t do anything but follow. Unfortunately, a water-proof jet rises out of a murky cloud and fires a heat-seeking missile at you. Fortunately, however, the water throws it off. You dodge it, and it turns around and heads for the jet who fired it instead. It sinks lazily back into the dust cloud after the explosion.
Do you:
1) continue escaping from the jets hovering over the lake, or
2) save the pilot from the water jet to extract information about this mystery?
