But TransPowers' gadgets work everywhere, even/especially in the
core. (Interesting question, is the Countermeasure a thing made by
Powers, or the TransPowers? The latter, apparently).
We don't know where OnOff is travelling, inward, or outward. If it's
outwards, then rather the TransPowers' gadgets never ceased operating,
or the Powers' gadgets have just started operating again, still
erratically. (Which means the passage through the core didn't destroy
them).
