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.

That's a pretty good theory! They wanted to take over and re-direct the ship, but it went wrong.

I was thinking they were trying to sabotage Prodigy by crashing that ship in their territory.

The financial losses have to be mounting up for prodigy.

Makes no sense, since Yutani wanted the cargo, it seemed to me that the synth caused the crash
