Transfer Sequence
*****************

When the BioShifter needs to change enemy body, it launches a guided probe
on a thin wire. The player will take limited control, turning the probe
around corners while inertia carries it forward.

(should the probe bounce off walls, or should it simply be destroyed?
Perpaps depending on angle to the wall when hitting. Range? 4-5 secs flight
time max sounds reasonable)

If the BioShifter doesn't control a body while firing the probe, no player
energy will be drained.

If the Bioshifter does control a body, control ability (life force, energy)
will decrease, so that at launch a 'first shot' amount is deducted, and
then more energy drains away while the probe is being controlled.

If the probe hits a body, which is not stunned (and thus unprepared for
takeover) the probe will act as a weapon. The target body will lose some
life energy and maybe twice the stun energy. So if the probe is being used as a
weapon, the result will eventually be a stunned enemy, which has lost a good
amount of life energy as well. To the player it will be better to use a
dedicated stun weapon, as they don't drain away life energy.

If the probe hits a stunned body, takeover will be almost immediate. The
BioShifter will disconnect from the previous body and move along the probe
wire to take over the new body.
