Originally in a dead end position on some backwater planet beneath notice you saw an opportunity to reach higher or at least get out of the monotonous corporate space. You signed on for a colony expedition where you would go into crysleep for most of the trip and arrive at a beautiful new world. That's the dream Weyland Yutani works for. Awoken from your cryosleep unexpectedly you look around and see you're the only ones awake, the flashing red lights a harrowing sign.
