That is the sort of question where it would be really handy to have a little intel on the captain of the Star Destroyer. Any idea of that person's attitude, or inclinations; whether they want to show off; who they want to show off to.
An Imperial-class Star Destroyer in a fleet populated with Resurgents; a captain perhaps honored by the promotion and slighted by the assignment. The most discontented, after all, are the people who end up in second place. An assassination on their watch. It would be one thing to get the assassins and crush them so soon, but the bigger victory...
"Capture," Cassian guesses. "I think capture."
The ship rolls and avoids an obstacle in a neat, trim, elegant arc. It comes home to Cassian, suddenly, that he must trust Poe completely, in this moment. There is nothing that he can do to stop those TIEs from coming after them. And it is, in this instant, much, much more difficult than he had anticipated. Cassian has worked alone for too long, and he has only ever placed his trust piecemeal, situationally. He swallows once, twice on a dry throat.
