    Two courses of action.

    1. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. Then you let the Ramirez outside in and do the same. You proceed trying to figure out what’s going on. Who is the real one? Problem with this scenario is now you 100% have the fake one inside with you.

    2. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. You leave the one outside to die. Unethical, but now there’s only a 50/50 chance the one inside with you is the fake one.

    Alternate option if you’re feeling really unethical is you just instantly kill the one already inside and also leave the one outside to die. Technically the safest option.

      Kick out the inside Ramirez and let them fight to the death. The winner is the fake one.

      Oh I’ve seen this one.

      You tie them both up. Set them down on a couch next to each other. Get each of their blood into a dish. Then you take a flame thrower, heat up some metal and apply it to each dish of blood. Easy.

      Everyone knows the correct answer is the alternate option, but the first one makes the initial drama and sets up the opportunity for a movie to happen in the first place.

          (Randy farts)

          Randy: “Wasn’t me…? Hehe?”

          Narrator: “…about knowing who you can trust…”

          “One of us is an imposter , if we don’t find out who it is we’re all doomed!”

          “What are we supposed to do we don’t even have hands!”

          Narrator: “…and who’s kinda sus…”

          (Body found)

          Narrator: “Starring…Chris Pratt…”

          “Ewww…who knew we had like…one bone?”

          Narrator: “…Wanda Sykes…”

          “Gary! Are you for real right now?!”

      If the non-ramirez entity has any sort of offensive powers, trying to kill or restrain it might yield a worse outcome. Like, you try to tie up the one inside and it decides the cat is out of the bag, so it bursts out of its skin suit and strangles you.

      If theres one thing I know about aliens, its that the whole ship needs to burn in orbit. Its the only way to be sure.

      No you put both of them outside and then try to resolve it. Then no matter what happens the station is still ok. They both have comms, nothing is gained by letting either in.

          There’s a lot more room in space than in the station. You could easily put them a quarter mile apart out there, while in the station you could be killed in seconds.

            If the station’s that big, there’s definitely room to keep Ramirez confined without resorting to sending him out into space.

              Huh? No I said in space you can put them that far apart. You aren’t putting them that far apart inside. And inside you either have to get in close proximity to both, increasing your chances of disaster, or you have to let them wander the space station unaccompanied.

      Blow the inside-Ramirez out the airlock, give the outside one some company. - The good ending. :)
