    I have tried that so many times, but it never works.

    That means you are an NPC.

    I feel this with every fibre of my soul.

    Alternately, would be nice to find a debug console....

    Well when are the main characters going to end this?

    You can never know. Maybe simulation started just 2 minutes ago and all you memories are just fabrication? Maybe this is a long term simulation and kept running for centuries in some university? Maybe all the crew in the starship are dead and simulation is running indefinitely because everyone is dead?

    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!

    Yes, 100% yes.

    So, am I suicidal or genocidal?

    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?

    If you can see this, it's probably good news! Holodeck characters were unable to perceive the controls, unless they were already fully conscious like Moriarty. This means you're a real person!

    Bad news: an errant holodeck npc subroutine (and malfunctioning safety limiters) keep overwriting the crew’s short term memory. The program has been force closed 1,593 times; but it immediately reboots and wipes everyone’s memory repeating the cycle
