Press it. Maybe it moves towards your country then you get a bonus otherwise just roll the dice

you have thoses choices :
- launch multiple councellors on the ayy's butt, multiple times 15-20% gets you decent chances to succeed at the cost of mobilizing most of your concellors for a single task
- savescumming
- contemplate your life choices after the alien flees when you tried to capture or kill it for the 3rd time

Try to use hostile take over to remove some orgs that give him security.

Only way is to try, spend ops, and remember to inspect the alien agent's traits first.

Better assassination instead, Alien will keep sending new agents, try detain agent with lower security.

Do you have Maximum Effort researched? It lets you pump more resources into any action. And of course there is also the ole standby, "Hit it so often you'll succeed sooner or later".

[uni-sp]

if you spy on the alien for a couple of times it gives you a bonus to assasination or detaining the alien or councler afterwards. and use a very high skilled guy on your side as well. but it's a risky game, the alien can disapear before you choose your final action.

Maybe the first time is always a success. I had a very low probability and succeeded with my first attempt. I did it when I got the objective to capture one.

And like uni-sp said, investigating them raises the intel on that alien which helps.

Thanks guys, I'll try to Hostile takover the alien Org to lower the security first then hit the alien again with max effort.

they can have human orgs with bonus security, but ever without orgs they all have over 20 security.

Try with multiple dudes, try again and again over several turns, just roll them bones again and again.

I had to wait for the aliens to send their C lister agent to find one i could capture and even then it was a ♥♥♥♥♥. Some are damn near totally untouchable don't even waste your time on those. There is a reason some alien agents are tougher than others, you'll see.

Investigate multiple times helps. to a point.
