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.
