The Hunt

A Dark Angels force tries to seize an enemy agent whose knowledge could advance the hunt for the Fallen. The mission rewards capturing the quarry alive rather than simply killing him, while special stratagems let the attacker prolong the engagement and the defender escape a dangerous melee.
