Admin is out of their area due to work and the firewall server or something died completely preventing them from remotely accessing anything to bring it back up and also preventing using their backup (per a post I read a few hours ago).

There used to be...
I have seen servers with optical drives rigged to press the power button of another server when the drive ejects it's tray.
Just SSH into it and run the eject command, wait a few min, run it again, then run it twice again.
This would make it hold the button to power it off, release the button, and push it quickly again to power up the machine.
Note that you need the old desktop style of optical drive with a powered tray for this to work

I would hope not. If that thing burns, then a large portion of Europe's internet comes crashing down.

That's simultaneously janky and genius. I love it.
