	Although the mind probe uses [[Psionics]], soldiers do not need any psionic ability to use it. Because every use requires 50% [[Time Units]], you will only ever get two uses per turn - less, if you spend too much time moving or turning. A good choice for the [[Rear Commander\|useless officer]] who sits in the [[Skyranger]].		Although the mind probe uses [[Psionics]], soldiers do not need any psionic ability to use it.

	Mind Probes must be researched before being issued to soldiers. The most common use of a mind probe is to identify high-ranking targets worthy of capture and live research. They are not vital battlefield devices and take up 2x2 backpack spaces. Can be used on any alien within sight of any soldier. The soldier with the mind probe does not need a direct line of sight to the alien.		Mind Probes must be researched before being issued to soldiers.
