The character of David is introduced as he is meandering around the ship, while the rest of the crew is in cryosleep. This is to quietly imply to the audience he is in fact an android, without outright saying it just yet. This was actually an idea that director Sir Ridley Scott had for the android Ash (Sir Ian Holm) in Alien (1979), but it wasn't used at the time. Coincidentally, Lance Henriksen admitted during an interview about the film Aliens - Scontro finale (1986) that James Cameron was considering introducing the character of Bishop in a similar way, and wanted to have Bishop working throughout the Sulaco while the Marines were in cryosleep. This idea was scrapped, and Cameron decided to film the famous knife trick scene instead, as a way to reveal to the audience that Bishop was an android.
