    Now the larger question if you found out this but knew you were a holocharacter. Would you still end the program?

      Depends, am I aware like Michael Sullivan from Fair Haven? Just being forced into an existential crisis knowing I’m not real while feeling real? Or am I aware like Vic Fontaine, with full awareness and controll of my reality?

      The first one im 100% shutting it down if I can. The second, Imma live like a king … a fucking king!

        does ending the program kill all holocharacters or merely suspend their programs? does ending the programs kill them? do they resume the program as is when the program restarts? are they cognizant of program ending and starting? is there a functional or moral difference between halting the holocharacter via terminal commands and murdering them with your hands?

      i’d probably just summon up a couple extra holo-arms for my holo-hobby. and finally order that special holo-table i have been lusting over (it’s curved)

        They’re not supposed to be able to. But in Star Trek when has that ever stop the hologram. Example Professor Moriarty taking over the Enterprise.
