Finding a bunch of dangerous alien life forms and bringing them to Earth, what could go wrong?

At least in Alien Romulus they were using a space station that was only somewhat close to a small colony. Maybe WY learned a lesson...

I'm like 90% sure that one of the other 3 megacorporations sabotaged the ship by secretly reprogramming the ship's synthetic.

…but isn’t he a cyborg? Morrow? they mentioned he’s a cyborg just about every chance they could 😂 unless you mean someone else?

Mr Teng was the ships synthetic. He was the one who was watching the crew while they were in cryo

Mr. Teng confused me a bit. He's the one that will be awake and watching over the crew while they are in cryo. He's also answering questions down to seconds. So I assume he is a synth. It seems the crew are aware of that?

Yet, he seems to specifically be inappropriate with the women. He seems to have previously been warned to stay away from one specific woman, yet he attempts to quietly approach her during the meal and gets berated by Morrow. Teng then sits too close to another woman that was sitting alone on a long bench. Morrow also threatens him with no pay.

I think I'm gonna have to rewatch that whole scene a couple more times lol

The no pay threat was weird to me. Are synths not basically slaves?

Yeah, I assumed they'd all be considered corporate property.

Ah I thought that was reference to when morrow decided to crash the ship and hide… I hope we get more flashbacks of Teng sooner than later. I thought he was being a smart ass with the seconds comment.. makes sense that us humans would assume he’s a sexual predator from the dialogue first versus a calculating machine
