Exactly how complex is this 'simulation'? If these people are actually sentient, could you go to jail if you tortured one? Is it like Digimon or something? When I hear 'simulation' I think of something that is not real, but if these people posses actual sentience rather than the mere illusion of it, then this 'game' has frightening moral implications. Or maybe that was your point...  Thinking

Maybe John could compromise and have them rescued by aliens? Aliens with crazy technology that resets the star to an age where the civilization could mature and escape in time.

May I ask why how/why you came up with this particular scenario?
