The codes Cammie was able to work out don't just affect the shock collars.
When time unfreezes, the console chirps:
"DEACTIVATION CODE ACCEPTED. INITIATING FULL SHUTDOWN OF TRANSMITTER SUSTEM. INITIATING PERMANENT DEACTIVATION OF ALL ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. INIATING PERMANENT SHUTDOWN OF ALL ACTIVE METAPOWER SAFEGUARDS."
They all feel a strange buzzing sensation in their bodies where the collars were. Then a sense of them melting away. Maybe not being destroyed but going completely inert, like they're melting to nothing, merging with their tissues in a non-damaging way.
The deactivation code also causes every rig-based power suppression mechanism to go down. Anyone with restraint cuffs or mechanisms has them fall off. All metapower-based safeguards protecting areas and execs on the rig, like psi blockers, fields preventing intangibility, etc. go down.
Then a massive reaction happens, caused by a strange resonance due to the mostly inert Stuff in their bodies reacting to the power suppression deactivation. Even those who had their powers change simply by Stuff exposure, rather than Jorgmund interference, suddenly find themselves at full power, their powers exactly the same as back home. Those who gained new powers in the Gone-Away World find that they still have their new powers but their old powers are also fully restored.
The transmission affects everyone on the rig, causes these changes to every New Hire.
It's all over. All hell can now break loose, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
The second time unfreezes ne soldier suddenly notices the soldiers Stacia hit falling around him. It takes half a second after the console chirps that it's deactivated everything for him to realize what's about to happen.
Then he turns and sees a fucking werewolf two feet away.
"Motherfucker," he says, bringing his gun up to aim at her. He probably won't have a chance to even pull the trigger.
