I might be overanalysing this but why is Ilia so certain the contents of the scroll won't tarnish the reputation of the WF in Menagerie? Could there be some form of trap in the info to make it look fake upon examination so Ghira looks like he fabricated it? You know, this makes me wonder about something else. A lot of people assume the story about launching a coup against Khan can't be a ruse because they couldn't have known she would get noticed, but what if there was a contingency plan that involved making fake places to entrap them if caught? Illia could well have had time to trigger a contingency, assuming it wasn't already in place. That way it isn't as if they were betting on all those events to transpire, but were prepared for the possibility with something that could send them into a trap.
