Oh - of course! We're memory, essentially, though we're not exactly sure of the hows, wheres, or whys behind it. Best guess is that our data - the memories, personality, so on - was transferred from our bodies on death to some storage unit somewhere in the ship, maybe through the nanites? The storage could be in the trash... But there's also some speculation that the ship itself might remember us, and that's why we're here. Either way, we're not truly solid at the moment! Our bodies are very much back in those pods and very much completely dead.
