The Echos have to be in cryo since part of their system converts the food they eat into fuel for their bodies. If they weren't in stasis they would starve to death. Their wake-up should also mimic a normal human one or that could tip somebody off that there is something weird about those 5 women that they might get curious about.Not necessarily. they could just be put in cryo for transport and are reactivated again on Pandora. We also shouldn't believe the other echo units when they say stuff like that, since they are programmed to not think about stuff that would make them realize they are Echos.
The only thing this wouldn't explain is why in this scenario Skylar would be reactivated, but I've got a feeling that the culprit would be behind it.
If the culprit initiated the wakeups mid-voyage it would make a lot of sense to ensure that a doctor was one of the people since they would be able to render assistance in the case of a problem with the others that get defrosted en route (including MC, who is the most important one). If they don't know Skylar is an Echo then she would be the best candidate based on the false credentials that were provided for her biographical file (having a stellar medical history from Earth gives her enormous credibility when supporting MC's takeover). If not the culprit there could be a ship protocol that in the event of a major event a doctor gets awoken to tend to any medical emergencies that might have injured the other passengers, and again Skylar is the best candidate based on her records.
