Admin notes: Instantiating a new bodiless user defaults to higher permissions level than it should. Declining automated body recreation should not grant access to divine-level species options.
TODO: Prevent disembodied users with no body records/history from defaulting to full Admin Biological Modification interface when they decline automated reconstruction. Require direct Admin correspondence for all changes?
TODO: Lock down all Fragment-related options to require direct confirmation from superadmin.
