Security brings their report. The version judged almost certainly safe for senior staff to read says that Keltham had introduced a mental technique for ceasing self-deception, and Peranza had gotten stuck on the idea it'd take effect when she used Owl's Wisdom. She did so, and had some kind of total collapse from accumulated strain over how much she was self-deceiving. She tried to mentally retreat into alter-Peranza, which didn't work either, and then while flailing around mentally ended up hitting on 'be a dath ilani from Keltham's stories'. Security acknowledges this doesn't sound like a reasonable thing that would reasonably happen but they haven't got anything better. Then, she cast Fox's Cunning and decided a dath ilani from Keltham's stories would betray the project immediately for Iomedae, and did that.
