Honestly, if we work out in-character that the Choir has been found out, we *could*, as distasteful as it might be, sacrifice the ones in that specific Hive to make the Imperials think they've dealt with the problem without compromising the entire operation
Sucks to burn an asset, both pragmatically and morally, but sometime you gotta do what you gotta do, and I'm sure our people are willing to make the sacrifice for the good of the whole op.
Or just do what Cooky suggested lol. QM Ninja.

It could be because the usual rogue Psykers use the Warp in very specific/untrained ways and have a different "flavor" of Warp powers, whereas our Choirs are noticeably different.
Most Psykers AFAIK don't have access to Rejuvenat as we do, so for them having lived their entire lives there and suddenly encountering something new, it'd make them interested enough to investigate.
Maybe mix in the effects of A Hand to Hold the Candle, A Hand to Guide the Sword, A Mouth to Sing the Hymns, Two Feet to March against the Dark, and Eyes to See the Star Child's Light, and you could pretty easily spot a Choir through the Warp if they don't hide themselves.

Or, you know.
[ ] Plan: Damage Control
-[] [General] Research
--[] Shipyard Automatization
-[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (0.2/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
--[ ] Silence, Grounding
-[] [Military] Militarize The Schools Of Paladins
-[] [Non Action] Warn our assets in Voxx Primus to go to ground until the heat dies down,
Is this viable @HeroCooky ? Or do we need a full action to Kansas City Shuffle our assets down in VP?

I'm gonna be campaigning for Destroyer Automation now, alongside...hm, I wanna get the Silence and Grounding melodies, and use those to help our Choirs go to ground on Vox. Can we do the 'tell the people on Vox to go silent' thing as a Free Action @HeroCooky ? If so, then I'd say finish filling out Battlegroup Sphinx with the last action.

-[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies--Grounding and Silence
-[] [Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group
--[] Sphinx (0/0.5), Overflow to Werewolf
--[] Assign it to Ultima Sigritta
-[] [[Voxx Primus] The work done by the Choirs thus far has been exemplery, and without even having being noticed by the powers that be, (so far as we can tell!) Deliver/transmit medals of valor and heroism for their saving of hundreds of souls, whether by death or taking them under their wing, and have them continue to focus on hiding one's forces (teaching them the new Melodies, of course) and using Perception as well, in order to prepare the ground for future actions without drawing attention.
Shipyard Automation is also a good choice, but HeroCooky did say that two BSGs in Ultima Sigritta would probably have them fucking off for now if they do send scouts.

Could we make a song to hide our psykers?

...hmm, it might be a free action? We do have full communication thanks to the Choirs, right, @HeroCooky ?
Can we teach people Melodies via Text Message/etc?

Assigning Battlegroup Sphinx and Centaur should be enough to at least give them second thoughts. Sphinx is only missing 4 carriers so 1 SBG and most of another SBG should be close enough for our purposes.
As usual then, everyone is panicking and the shouldn't be. We've toughened up ultima siggrata, we're going to plonk another battlegroup there, that should hold them off long enough for our Society Building spec to out-build them.
We tell the Choir to fucking hide, and maybe direct the local psyker hunters to one of the more chaos-y bunches of psykers. Then get the autmization ticking (which I have been asking for for a while) and go back to building and colonizing.
Everyone needs to stop freaking out a bit.
Yeah. That's good.

Yeah, but there were other people who chimed in.
You could also, I don't know, do this?
-[] Free Action: If our efforts in subverting Voxx Primus are detected due to our Choirs getting noticed in the Warp, tell 'em to lay low and point one of the dozen hanger-on gangs at some nearby Psykers unwilling to become a part of the Celestial Choir. When they are dead, have the gangers deliver the Psykers to local Arbites or Ecclesiarchy to sell their bodies and evidence of their psyker nature for cash or goods. Then do nothing but silently listen for a decade or two.
Yeah, you can do that.
See above.
...also, now I have the image of some Psykers learning how to perform complex psychic rituals by reading emoji cat-speak chat messages.

Can we do that?
After all, we have no reason to assume that we're detected.
But the plan that won did tell them to lie low and to avoid being detected.
From the cooler headed part of the thread:
Please don't. Just let tempers calm down a bit until people get back to thinking with logic, not passion.
And sorry for people being confrontational right now.
No. That is not what the action means.
Actions spend still give us War Packs as before, just that now it is formatted to give us an idea how long until we are full. And have auto progress.

Also, I'll admit to a little schadenfreude at other people being the ones to freak out for once while I was more "Well, I mean, I was expecting this to happen but not this soon" 
But that's over and done with now, let's come together to resolve our issues as a team!

It's b/c the more powerful the Psyker, the more they stand out to others with Witchsight, and those that are part of a Choir are pretty damn powerful, like at least Gamma or Delta level. And we sent 25 of them all to one place.
What none of us expected was that the Van Zandt Dynasty had their own Psyker institutions, but then again, if you run a Hive world for Hundreds of years, you have to have some way to handle Psykers or you have a Daemon world. And if you can't detect dozens of VERY powerful psykers in one place, you're pretty much fucked.

If we go with the detterent option, wouldn't it make sense to cut Vox Primus lose and focus our actions elsewhere?
Because if we're aiming for detente, then having a massive, detectable subversion of enemy territority is a giant nuclear landmine under any and all relations.

Yeah, and their plan was "Fuck Insurgents This Turn." They, too, have Actions that do stuff. In this case, discover the fucky-wucky.

Detente yes but our government has like ideological reasons to hate them. Also players have spend like a lot of actions on it and I doubt they want to stop now.
Pretty much my suggestion.

Oh, btw, aren't we forgetting about these guys.
