Issue Title: EMP Dosn't work coreectly on guards with barriers
Issue Description: After trying to disable a guard's barrier with an EMP I found that it did not work.

Even worse it prevented me from using lockpick/parasite to break his firewalls.
Steps to Reproduce: 1- Find a guard with the Firewall dependant Barrier.

2- Don't hack his firewall with ingocnita. Instead deploy an EMP against him

3- Wait for EMP to go off and catch him in the Blast

4- Find that his Barrier is still up and giving him an armour bonus.

5- Switch to incognita to try to bring down his firewalls using lockpick/parasite only to find you can't because they no longer appear.

Oh, barriers aren't supposed to block them? 

[Verminus]

No idea if barriers are supposed to be EMP immune or not.

 

If they are EMP immune, having the EMP remove the ability to bring them down normally is just plain mean.

+1 to this, I observed it last night as well. The barrier animation is still up after the blast goes off. Only way to knock them out is using a shock trap.

I've been experiencing this too
