Ram doesn't have much to contribute to solving the event, but he is very good at parkouring all over the city and knows all the shortest routes. He can carry messages if needed, and will share tips about transit routes with transport beams (dematerialize here, rematerialize there, like on the Lightcycle Grid in the old system; such things have been used in g_l before). He will also be frantically looking for a ride to work, because while the distance is walkable, it eats up a LOT of his day. Friends should expect a lot of helpful Comms messages from him, and in-person visits when he can travel properly again!
He's also a little worried this month because he hasn't heard from Roy (who is still back in the User world) since before the storm. This has happened before, but it's been an unusually long time.
Ko has been drifting around the city since the storm, not sure what to do with herself after a preliminary recce revealed most of the Outlands weather stations she used to take care of gone and all the maps useless. She's up for any sort of plotting (and really should meet more people). Her experience living under difficult circumstances may be useful for programs unsure how to deal with the supply shortages.
Wulf badly needs at least one ambulance-worthy vehicle for his clinic to make housecalls with. He'll be setting up medical stations at key points in the sectors he serves, so that programs have access to care without having to hike long distances; the rest of the Grid's clinics will be doing similar things. Lack of ability to transport equipment and supplies (they'll run out of energy-infusion patches quickly, for example) will make the care less comfortable, but he can still fix you up.
Allon miiiight have been out at the Sea (with company? :3) when the error hits, and would then be stuck out there; Argon District is close by, but it would take quite a while to get home. If they do decide to hike back, Allon will probably spend a lot of the rest of the time practicing dancing in the park (possibly with Siren?), unless someone needs a hand carrying something somewhere.
Eckert will be in a bind: having overdrawn on the club's energy allotment during the storm, he's not fully prepared to lose transport capabilities for this long. Energy at the club will be rationed, though there's still enough for everyone to have a reasonably good time. But he won't be inviting people to stay overnight.~ He'll be tooling the club's entertainments to the needs of exhausted programs wandering into the club after a long day slogging across the city on foot. He'll also be pulling all possible strings to get at least one energy delivery a day, though he understands that the few vehicles still operational on the Grid have many higher-priority uses.
Both Wulf and Eckert would have called on local mechanics to try to deal with their vehicle problems before the explanation starts going around, so there's that too.
