First: IPG = Indie Game Promoter - He has a very popular Youtube channel where he features videos on several different games. He's a big supporter of Subnautica.

Second: All the other Aurora survivors died while the player was knocked out during the crash. Some were (presumably) killed by radiation, some by agressive fauna, some by warpers.

Thrid: The so-called NPC that everyone is talking about is actually just a size reference model (Wasabi One) that the devs place in the game temporarily to get the scaling right. They all get removed eventually.

Fourth: NPC - Non Player Character - Example: 343 Guilty Spark from Halo, GLADDOS from Portal, Alyx Vance from Half-Life. Generic fauna like warpers are not NPC's.
