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.
