Another, easier one is to have them all wake up and THINK that it's 2170.
Maybe the corp screws with their memories, maybe they implant custom
simsense, so the PC's all perceive everything as futuristic.
Now the corp offers to teach them about their "new world" and uses them to
help root out other "refugees from the past" who seek to topple the corp's
benevolent utopia.

It would be quite simple for the corp to paint a picture of the future
making them out to be the saviors of mankind, especially with a simchip
making any non-corp affiliated person look like an evil mutant or worse.

Good plotline though, however you implement it.
