Rule notes

Official Runlings:

Participating in any battle at the location of the target prevents you from probing to complete this objective, even if the target is no longer at the location of that battle. Simply placing an unabducted target on an Assimilation Table (e.g., by relocating him there with Mysterious Orb) is not sufficient to allow you to probe. You must first battle and abduct the target as stated. See drone, showing your cards.
