It's worth nothing she could have sources in Leng or the Far Realm. It is not guaranteed this is an intelligence leak. That said Scholarum mages are not inquisitors. Social skills and keeping secrets are not their forte.

Freaking Magelings. It's just one problem after another with them.

I have half a mind to no longer use the Scholarums in RAs now
That is a lot of dice to be throwing away over one potential information leak.

Please turn this into a vote I'm begging you. Fuck these stupid motherfucking fairies, let them know we can nuke their asses again if we want.
I'm sick of their fucking games.

I should specify sensitive/secretive RAs. And stopping our enemies from knowing about "potential deep one infiltration of the Imperium flesh forge"level of intel is definitely worth sacrificing some dice.
The concern that Viserys' brain might be eaten by Far Realm corruption seems to be a legitimate concern from the anti-incursion fey

Indeed? The argument we would take is that if Viserys were to fall victim to such a thing, we the Imperium, would have much greater things to worry about. This is like saying how we are afraid to sign a treaty with the Fey as we are afraid the Deep Ones might mind control their leadership later. Absolutely ludicrous attempt at negotiations.

Oh no it is a very legitimate concern, especially since we just recently had such a big issue.
I just don't like fairies. They're double speak and alien motives make them far too untrustworthy in my eyes.
Especially since we just killed their Queen. There's no reason for them to deal in good faith with us. Even if we come to the table with no ill intent.
Well yes, but they have been around and dealing with the Far Realm for millennia, you guys have been doing the same thing for years which is to say an eye blink in the eyes of immortals. That said if you want to have a look at their safety procedures that seems fair reciprocity.

Wow. My heart goes out to the concern you have for us. How large is your benevolence to worry about us, the nation that eradicate more then half your own country, that you would seek reassurances to our own safety.
...It's hilarious how they want an assurance we won't fold like a wet tissue paper to the Deep Ones when their own leadership has been near wiped out.

Totally Not Creating Problems Where None Existed

If that was ever a problem, today's the first time we're hearing about this.
I've done nothing but try to ensure the place's safety with everything I ever assigned there:
I am totes okay with never again assigning a Scholarum Branch to assist with Gogossos-based research if that's what the thread feels like.
The defenses we've set up so far physically, and the ones we will start working next month magically, seems "more-or-less good enough" to me though.

To be fair, it migt just be fey smugness trying to mean"Look, everything is cool with you, but I'm kinda worried that you got infiltrated by the Far Realm"
Which was spat out as "We know of your many mistakes in handling Far Realm corruption and would rather you correct them before you speak with us"
Sharing our safety precautions in exchange for there's seems reasonable, we might benefit from it.

I have half a mind to track and question which fucker loosened his bloody tongue. Also putting a mandatory seminar in the Schloarium about need-to-know intel. At this rate, the Nine Hells probably know about that fuck-up.

"Orange Haze would have definitely appreciated this help my Lady." 
Keep in mind you are also talking to the fey whose defenses weathered said divine smiting and are currently throwing a feast in honor of your emissaries.

All right we have memory moss correct? It is time to use it. Any info deemed top-secret as in Flesh-forges, Necromancy and the Praetorian Project should have all members imbibe the moss as to remove the project from their memories.

We just saw something that should have been a high level state secret casually mentioned by an enemy Fey Court. That's not worth extra progress dice at all.
Our fault for doing it, granted, but this isn't happening again.

[X] Plan Lemonade
-[X] Point out that while the mental contamination of Viserys would be a large threat, the same applies to many other figures in the Imperium and the Azure Court. The memetic hazards posed by the Deep Ones are not something that can be defeated by hardening a few individuals against such attacks, but only by sweeping, broad and decisive measures.
-[X] The Imperium has set up such measures, and created an institution who is specifically tasked with detecting and eradicating Deep One infiltration or contamination.
-[X] Furthermore, the Imperium is constantly learning, refining its methods and seeking to obtain and utilize all information available to combat these threats.
-[X] If her concern is genuine, you would propose to share information in regard to Deep One threats, their detection, and counter-measures against memetic attacks. None of this information is of military value against the Imperium or the Azure Court, so it should be an acceptable exchange for all involved.
--[X] The Imperium will however reserve the right to analyze and spread all information obtained to it's allies and threatened neutral parties. The threat posed by Deep Ones is overriding diplomatic concerns in this regard.
