 *As a Mush, it is advisable to burn all your {{AP}} and {{MP}}, remove useful items and, particularly, drop or hide your {{Item|Walkie Talkie}} / {{Item|iTrakie}} somewhere before doing the transfer, to leave the confused victim as little opportunity as possible to resist or alert the crew.

 Using ''Transfer'' will swap you and the target on the end-of-game scoreboard, meaning that 'likes' and previously gained {{Glory}} may be confused between the two players. This may lead to your victim being commended for your Mush play, although you will only receive commendations on the new character.

 *Escaping a lynch mob by transferring into attackers or inactives (whose full {{AP}}/{{MP}} gauges you can put to good use). Defeating attackers by transferring into them mid-combat and slaying your old body is particularly easy, but be aware that they will display as dead humans, blowing your cover to an attentive/well-informed crew.
 *As last resort, possessing a high-importance character (like the ship's only {{Skill|Shrink}} or {{Skill|Physicist}}) and therefore getting them killed, further dooming the human crew. Particularly effective if your old body is comparatively useless.
-*If {{Character|Mush}} {{Character|Raluca}}, you could rush the [[PILGRED Reactor]] to completion with your co-mush, then transfer into the reigning {{Title|Commander}} and travel to Sol immediately.
+*If the crew is too careless or desperate to take precautions against it, you can possess the commander (or anyone but Chun holding the Hacker Kit) to move the ship while key crew members are on an expedition.
