Eventually he starts to think he should stop sailing and go find her. He's not totally sure how to leave the ship.
I'll be with you in a minute. She tucks the pages of staff descriptions into her backpack and heads into the holodeck.
"Computer? End simulation?"
And the ship disappears, leaving them in a bare, empty room again.
" - oh. Huh. Uh. - I should maybe have been more concerned about the fact that they could accumulate debt at all, but, uh - do you want me to try bringing them back - "
"Computer? Run 18th century sailing ship?"
The ship and its crew come back.
No debt.
"I guess - maybe it's processing it like a resurrection? I lost all of my debt when I died - which - I guess it was obvious from the start that fairy thought the holograms were people, which, uh - I did not mean to create a bunch of people, but I guess the personhood status of some holograms on Star Trek is kind of debatable?"
"I mean, we can just leave them up here, I guess, if - I am really not qualified to handle the philosophical question of whether the holograms are people who deserve to be on all the time now that they've been accidentally brought into existence, but there's no reason we have to get rid of them, I don't think?"

"A hologram! What's that?"
"There's a big metal frame and when you tell it '18th century sailing ship' then you and the rest of these people appear."
"You been drinking, son?"
"Well, you'd better get back to work and stop making up stories, in any case."
"I have a policy of not entertaining the impossible. Because if you do, son, you'll never stop worrying about all sorts of impossible things."
"That's pretty reasonable."
"I don't think you should turn 'em off," he says to Karen. "'m sorry."
"Okay. I have no idea whether the program is actually capable of running indefinitely, but - I won't shut them off."
