Also remembr that, potent as Scrapcode is, noospheric communications are resistent - standard wireless and hardline connections are an open book to Scrapcode, which is why it works so well on standard kit like Power Armour and Titans, but the Noosphere - the private communications utilized between Adepts - is actually immune to Scrapcode infiltration, so at the very least the Adepts themselves will be able to keep fighting.

Haven't read that one, was goign by what was stated in Mechanicum (where, Psi, the Noospheric technology described as allowing properly equipped techpriests to communicate on that intimate level).

Presumably, however, Zeth's Noosphere technology was lost with her if later generations of 'noospherically enabled' techpriests are vulnerable.

Yes, because they expanded the sensory apparatus of the Tech-Priests to include Wi-Fi. Or an implanted radio-link or other extra gubbins. If you suddenly gained the ability to "see" sound, as in echolocation, your noosphere would be thus expanded to take that capability into account. Again, noosphere just refers to your ability to perceive the world around you and comprehend those perceptions. It's not, by itself, hardware. You don't walk into a Tech Shop and say "One noosphere, please!".

To elucidate: Zeph created a technology that allowed direct noosphere to noosphere (perception to perception) communication.

Come on, it's McNeill, you really think he has a fricken clue about philosophical constructs?
