    Me, I’d go start “inspecting” the Whirligig while they need to think about which group to trust.

        More like “chew” vs “eat”.

    “You know, your guy said ‘The real inspectors, we’re screwed.’ Not ten feet away from me. I do have a disability, but I’m not deaf.”

      Yeah. “We, the real inspectors, are screwed.” Because apparently we scheduled this inspection at the same time as a black-hat security test, and the paperwork is going to be a *nightmare.*

        Yes, Gail. We’re your inspectors, but they’re the ones who inspect us, and you do not want to see that.

      Yeah, that’s probably the most likely scenario, given the relative competence of the three factions involved. There will then be a pause, and Skin Horse would dash for the Osprey while U.N.I.T.Y. is eating Gayle’s chair.

    Is a pack of interlopers like a herd of buffalo?

      “Buffalo! He said “Buffalo!” So slowly I turned…!!!”

      No, I think interlopers are the ones with the antlers.

        No, no… those are anterlopers.

          Antlerlopers.

    Before they go too far down this route, Project Skin Horse should remember that the classic solution to this conundrum is to kill both inspection teams and hide all evidence of their having ever visited.

    Of course, based on Anasigma’s usual level of draconian compliance standards, I half-expect this conundrum to be a standard feature of Anasigma inspections, and for the REAL decoy inspection team to show up halfway through and sow even more chaos, sort of like how the Marx Brothers’ “mirror routine” in Duck Soup is interrupted by a third person entering the room dressed as Groucho.

      Darn, your first paragraph also covers my idea for Tip’s next step: “Look at it this way: If they’re the fakes and you let them in, you’ve screwed up. If we’re the fakes, you’ve already screwed up, and letting them in won’t help.”

    It’s okay. There’s a *chance* Tip could still talk his way out of this one.

    It might be an all-female inspection team.

    Maybe this team are as big imposters as Our Team.

    Why would the real team try to help their inspectees evade the decoy team’s testing? If they were legit, they’d be *encouraging* them to let the other team in.
