Capturing
Only Jacque (the main character) can capture Spectra. Simply choose Capture from her techs menu.
Different Spectra are easier or harder to catch. Generally, strong ones are harder. To increase the chance of a sucessful capture, deal damage to the target. The less health it has left, the more likely you are to catch it.
