OKAY SO, since it's up to us (thank you!!) this is how we're deciding the capture plan goes down: Michael will sense one via the Visitor and will get in contact with Newt's team so that everyone can converge before engaging the hosts, so yay everyone gets to be involved. The fight will be tricky, but ultimately George will use her reaper power to temporarily pull out the host's soul, which will disorient it long enough for everyone to wrestle it into a cage.
Once they get back to the lab, the crew will be pretty quick to realize the host is panicking and in a bad state. Nate told Newt about the creepy experiment footage stuff that expedition found, so Newt would tell everyone else, and... Ultimately they just collectively feel bad about keeping the poor thing trapped and scared. They don't want it to hurt itself trying to escape or break out and hurt them/the lab. They'll scrap the original plan of wanting to hang onto the host for a little while to run experiments, and instead will just skip straight to trying to communicate.
During the capture, they'll try to do as little damage as possible to the host, but Shigeru will heal any injuries it does have pretty much immediately once they're back at the lab. Maybe this will calm it down a little? Either way, Shigeru and Alphys will take point on trying to communicate with it via emotions and an attempt at meditation. Meanwhile, Newt and the rest of the team will try to get as much info as possible from the nautilus without hurting it/freaking it out further, though most of what they'll be looking for is like, info we already have access to probably, like taking measurements and observing its reactions/movements, etc. Newt will also want to check over for signs of Null experimentation/augmentation.
Hopefully they can knock all this out in an hour or two tops, and then they'll be taking the host straight to Sorrow to see if he has any further insights and because they're hoping he can communicate with it. Alphys will bring along her GPS device too, but the group will only agree to track it if Sorrow is aiming to help the hosts. After all this, no one in the group wants to see the hosts hurt anymore than they already are. Help the mollusk buds!!!
And finally A BIG THANK YOU, MODS <3 this is super cool!!
