Well, Captain Chaos died in the Crash, but the program Dunkelzhan gave him in his will 'saved' him as an e-ghost.
As for some of the others? Can't say. Serrin lost his wife, went mad, and ran as Ire for a while until Netcat helped bring him to his senses. Don't know about the rest.
And I'll say again that a 'Fallen Heroes' type book (even if it is just a series of ebooks) would be awesome, talking about those runners of yesteryear. Captain Chaos, Hatchetman, and others.
