What if cloning was changed from how it is currently thought of?
Right now, you scan a corpse and then can build new ones of it later. What if, instead, clones were a very limited resource?
Like, say the station starts out with 5 blank clones. Just human bodies, partially developed to the point that they are basically a human, but with no identifying features. When someone dies, you pull up their unique features from a database and finish the blank clone with them to recreate them. The thing is, once you run out of blanks, that's it.
So, now instead of just cloning everyone willy nilly, you have to be strategic with who is cloned. Do you clone the HoS/Captain because of how important they are, or someone who could potentially reveal who the traitor is? Or do you just keep cloning the clown?
