This procedure was conceived (by [[Russell Stark]] himself) as a last-ditch fail-safe for each cadet in case of extreme threats that were specifically trained/equipped to deal with their specific known abilities and capabilities. None of the suppressed abilities are known; as the events of ''LLH'' 13:3 showed (when [[Julia Carlyle]] was scanned by [[Jodie Landon]] with a device capable of detecting and identifying powers, her suppressed ability was not detected) the procedure used also provides a quantum-level suppression of the abilities they were gifted with which includes extraordinarily high levels of resistance to powers and devices capable of detecting powers.
The secondary, suppressed section of their consciousness has been configured to reveal itself and reintegrate with each cadet's full consciousness (along with knowledge of/ability to use the new ability) in a case of perceived mortal danger and the knowledge that danger directly affects them, upon their twenty-fifth birthday, or upon hearing the term 'Lynchpin', followed by a fourteen-digit number (each cadet has a specific numerical activation code). It has been shown that only Russell Stark, [[Dawn Hall]] and Professor Blumenberg have the ''Alliance'' numerical activation codes, and that all of the USAES personnel involved in the power-implantation process have had their memories altered to forget the events/that the cadets have extra powers.
Despite this, the 'extra' metahuman abilities each has received are actually starting to manifest in some of the cadets. In the LLH 'Mini' ''Clarity'', Julia Carlyle seemingly demonstrated a possible telepathic ability (although it may have just been that she read [[Elsie Sloane]]'s lips as the latter sat in her car).
