[The first image the camera captures is a pair of large brown eyes, blinking sleepily before widening. They dart back and forth as their owner pulls the communicator back, showing a small pale face framed by dark curls, mouth curled into a frown. Zoom back a little more and the starry expanse from the deck is visible in the background.
The girl in the foreground bites at her bottom lip, licks it, looks around again before frowning at the communicator. She pulls it up closer, staring at the screen, and speaks one word with a distinct note of fear in her voice.]
...Mommy?

You are correct. Though Death is not a permanent state here.
There are Ports, and there are Floods. The former occurs when we dock at a wide variety of locations, while Floods are events that occur right here on the ship. Both have a tendency to affect the vast majority of the population in an illogical variety of ways. Everything from memories, to persona, to even your physical identity may be temporarily altered.
[Aya was not a fan of Floods and Ports.]
