Evil computer uses familiar voices to lure us into hell

i've seen the sentiment before that chester's first incident reading was very much a "DON'T GO TO THE FUCKING MAGNUS INSTITUTE" message. but now with this one... i think it's highly likely that chester is actively encouraging sam to get more entrenched in this mystery.
this week's incident was pulled up in direct response to sam considering dropping his investigations while talking to celia. a convenient "but wait, there's more! i promise there's not just dead ends!" to keep sam hooked, to draw him (and alice in tow) back to the institute.
which, of course, brings up the question once again of what the fuck chester (and norris and augustus) is (and what its relations to our favorite archivist are) which is not a question we can answer yet but oh i am so excited to find out. at least, i think the idea that chester is directly jon, or.. i dunno, his ghost or whatever, is not supported by this.
this new incident also imo reframes the potential “intent” behind the redcanary incident. from a warning of stay away to a warning of this is dangerous, but there’s so much more to be investigated here. imo.. a be ready for it. i think whatever chester is it wants sam to investigate the institute, but not die in doing so.

Hey. You know when you're eating a cracker, and it cracks perpendicular to your mouth? Get a load of this: there's an easy fix.
Just dip the cracker in water first, and kiss goodbye to that crisp cracking crunch. That's right, make this simple bargain with the demon of wet and enjoy uncrackable crackers for a lifetime of pleasure.
Life hack!

Yo what if the archivist is a time travelling Sam
Ok but why did the archvist wanted celias memories specifically?
I like this interpretation! I'm thinking the Magnus Institute is not the problem. The problem is what left it - all those papers, gone.
Previously the statements were how the Eye fed, but the tape web of recorded statements was how the fears got exported to another world.
So if the statements escaped the Institute, maybe that's a Pandora's Box?
To be fair, Red canary also brought back a box 🧐
can't stop thinking about red canary.
Like it has to be a red herring+mine canary symbology combo. It's meant to send us on the wrong path. AND it's a serious warning. So the institute IS a genuine danger, but it's not the place to get answers? Do we interpret it as a message to the listeners or the characters?
