In CODE RED: the written adaptation (and its scrapped video equivalent, CODE RED: the finale), a +involvement member and a certain bassist had touched the mental inhibitors with their hands.
The first case led to the events depicted in the "+involvement rescue" chapter with many certain characters voiced by the same voice actress coming together in one place. The second case led to a certain shield-wielding character meeting up with the bassist in inhibitor filler ep01: "this can't be happening".
In a similar case, the RED Heavy did make physical contact with and used his fists on the inhibitors in the finale/web novel and previous episodes. Thankfully, however, this led to a relatively minor referential event in CODE RED Aug 31 2010, where a certain pilot (of a military C-130 plane) and a psychotherapist with a cane were heard in decoded inhibitor signals.
