:lol Well you know, kinda the same way we know everyone in an RP uses the bathroom, but we normally don't... Ah... Go all into it? I'm perfectly content to skip over whether or not Mowzer's an un-neutered Tom and not think too hard on cat spray there...

And as far as how likely anyone is to die in stasis? I'm going to go with near impossible of "natural causes." There is no aging in cryostasis - although there are exceptions for allowing people into stasis. These exceptions would be a pregnant woman, and anyone under the age of two years. So yes, that does mean there is a small population of either pregnant women (pregnant at the time Copernicus departed, or become pregnant during the previous shifts), or mothers with children too young to be put into stasis quite yet.
