At first they try to claim they just got lost.
They meant to snorkel up another stream.
You have to have the truth at any cost.
Sometimes the answers might be what they seem.
Persuaded to reveal their true intent,
they say all humans merit being fried.
Beyond that, you have clues that they were sent
as cover for shenanigans inside.
So when an unnamed caller leaves a tip
that some employees plan a little raid,
you cancel reservations for their trip.
You find the damage and repairs are made.
That would have happened had the plot gone well.
Your limited resources would be where
you found an intrigue and the schemers fell,
while something could be done that wasn’t there.
What really happens is you get two calls.
Two puzzle pieces weren’t where they belong.
Two groups of evil traitors take two falls.
The launch goes full ahead with nothing wrong.

Two groups: That is, two groups besides the Divisiblists, who were merely a diversion to convince the authorities that the plot is sophisticated enough to have a diversion--sort of a meta-diversion. The Founders themselves, at least those 'in the program', have been split into two teams, only one of which was supposed to be discovered.
