    Did he actually stay on like Moriarty? IIRC, Moriarty became self-aware/sentient and the crew was ethically bound to keep him running. With Vic Fontaine, I think it was more a case of “saving the game” so he could continue friendships when he was activated again.

      Yes, Vic Fontaine was a regular occurrence. He was not your typical program either, but because of that they let his program run all the time.

        Not all the time. There’s an episode where Vic mentions the longest he’s ever been on has been 7-9 hours ::: spoiler spoiler When Nog had his leg replaced and suffered from PTSD :::
