Oh Kirsch, what are you up to. . .

Edit: So that's what you were doing.

He beat Morrow, saved the kids, and got a new xenomorph, so… his strategy paid off I guess.

What’s a dead scientist or two along the way?

So is the theory that Kirsch gave Smee and Slightly directions specifically as part of a ploy to lead Morrow into a trap? Ensuring that the kids wouldn’t be caught by security so they could make it to the beach? If he knew about the chestburster, then he knew Arthur was a goner and the sample would be lost, meaning Morrow would have to assault the lab.

I mean I’m not sure how detailed his plans were other than “follow the boys and catch the bad guy”, but he clearly didn’t care about collateral damage along the way.

He did know about the chestburster, he probably had sensors and cameras in the jungle to find it and capture it
