It's far better than nothing. Every step we can push them back is our chance to get ahead.
[Unfortunately, it isn't every Summoned's priority to keep this technology out of Marlo's hand, but there's nothing they can do about that. They can only do what is possible for them. And though he's only seen Steve in one true fight, blast the odds, he believe he can do this.
It's why he's offering what he can. Hoping Steve finds the people in the field he knows will help him with this job.
Jaskier rises up to give him a quick hug around his shoulders, if it's accepted. Not for reasons of feeling up his arms or pecs (which would usually be the case), but because he's honestly worried for him. He doesn't know him as well as Geralt, isn't sure what he can or can get out of. Their friendship is a surface-level one for the most part; only because Jaskier understands Steve has much more in common with people like Dean and Geralt than himself.
Still. He can recognize a good heart. One that they need around.] I'll take you up on that. So make sure you come back in one piece, Steve.
[ Steve nods firmly at that sentiment. Jaskier's right, and that's a mantra that Steve's lived by for as long as he can remember. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. Saving one life is better than saving none, even if others are lost. Even if it's impossible to save everyone.
He isn't expecting the hug, though, especially when it comes across as so genuine — with Jaskier's arms wrapping tight around him as he briefly squeezes. Like some sort of good luck farewell before he heads out.
Steve returns the hug, but doesn't hold it for long before he draws back, studying Jaskier's face for a few seconds as he shakes his head. ]
Worried about me? You don't need to be. I'll come back in one piece, promise. [ He knocks his fist against his own chest, and after thanking Jaskier for his help one more time, takes his leave. ]
