Capture a Live Hydra
Solution
Detect an alien operative on Earth and conduct a Detain mission against it. It may also be possible to locate an Alien Facility in an Earth region and conduct an Assault Alien Asset mission against it or detect and capture an alien hab out in the Solar System.
Description Resolution
Bring in a Hydra for questioning. Alive. I had to supervise this one personally – a lot of the boys did not like the idea of keeping this thing in one piece. Two of them tried to bring machine guns "just in case." It was just as well we'd had those anatomy briefings – the info was good, but the thing still got within five meters before we finally brought it down.

I was worried we'd done too much damage, but the thing's already regenerating. First time I've been glad these things are so hard to kill. The chief xenologist says that it should be conscious within twenty-four hours. Now we need to figure out how to interrogate it once it wakes up.

Mission accomplished, Colonel. We're face to face with the enemy.

Capture a Live Hydra
Solution
Detect an alien operative on Earth and conduct a Detain mission against it. It may also be possible to locate an Alien Facility in an Earth region and conduct an Assault Alien Asset mission against it or detect and capture an alien hab out in the Solar System.
Description Resolution
The containment facility is prepared and capture teams are ready to move on your order as soon as we find a viable target. The Hydras have captured more than enough humans; we believe it is time for us to do the same to one of them in return. The operation was a success! Our capture team identified their target and fought a chaotic but ultimately successful engagement that ended when they inflicted targeted injuries to disable the Hydra while avoiding its three major nerve/heart clusters. As a precaution against pherocyte exposure, we are quarantining three team members whose suits tore during the mission, but the capture operation was completed without fatalities. We are one step closer to our goal.

The Hydra has been moved into our containment facility. It is still recovering from its injuries but our observers report they can already see signs of regeneration. They will let us know once it regains consciousness.

We've got a live one, Commander.

Description Resolution
Our research into Hydra biology has come to a dead end; to learn more, we require a live specimen. Our science teams have full confidence in your ability to carry out this task.

On a related note, several of our personnel have noted that if we are going to launch a colony ship, it might be prudent to launch it away from Hydra space, rather than towards them, in which case interrogating a Hydra seems to be a logical step.
The operation was a success! Our Xenobiology division insisted on the use of nonlethal weapons against the Hydra target, which led to a certain number of casualties among the operations team when the recommended dosage of sedative turned out to be ineffective. In the end several of our security personnel made unauthorized use of firearms to disable the Hydra; while they have been reprimanded, the Hydra fortunately was able to recover from its injuries and is now safely contained.

Our biologists are busy studying the Hydra's regenerative process and monitoring its health; in the meantime, our linguistics team is eager to begin work on learning its language.

An alien is in custody, Director. We are ready to attempt to question it.

Description Resolution
A live Hydra will allow us to study their pherocytes in more detail. There is also the possibility of communicating with a captive subject. As yet, the Hydras have proven singularly uninterested in negotiating with us; perhaps they will respond better to a more forceful approach. The Hydra was located and detained by our security division, who once again conducted themselves in a satisfactory manner. Unfortunately, the Hydra "servants" have become aware of our actions and have denounced our detainment of the Hydra as "blasphemy." It is becoming clear that any long-term solution to the Hydra issue will be unlikely so long as the Servant faction remains active.

Our security team has brought home a live subject for testing.

Description Resolution
Our relations with the pro-alien factions are already strained, but I expect this will push them to breaking point. Looked at objectively, it is only symmetrical. They have abducted us; now it is our turn to do the same to them. But I doubt fairness ranks high among their concerns. The fight was neither neat nor pretty, but we have our Hydra. This time we were better prepared, due to our analysis of Hydra biology, and the price in blood was lower, although still too high. The Hydra took some wounds in the fighting, but like its namesake, it is quickly regenerating.

We have assigned some personnel in an attempt to begin to build rapport with our captive. I imagine that its first response will be to attempt to enslave them with its pherocytes. Perhaps once this fails, it may start to take us more seriously.
