[ hhhhh she doesn't really like lying, maybe lying by omission might work...? ]
I can try, but after a point it'll probably still be obvious even if I don't say it outright ... there's only so many ways I can explain knowing about this, after all, and I don't think they'll hold up for long.
[ 'i heard that' and 'someone told me' are nicely vague and unfortunately also dead giveaways after people look further into it and don't find other people who know ... unless she's lucky enough for someone else who got a message to mention it to the would-be investigators because they hadn't been given this advice by their leaders. ]
Maybe I'll just say you told me something more if someone tries to press it. You're doing your own research, and ... well, I wouldn't say that it was you, just one of the leaders, and um. You're doing your own research and managed to come up with a little more information, but no one really understands what's going on or why still.
... Maybe. You really have no idea whether someone else might be able to ... hijack the PHSes?
[ she's of the opinion they could have been DEATH, GLOOM, DESPAIR or pink red orange for all it mattered, spooky self deleting messages are still spooky.

[ said she whose problem is being too straightforward, and can only compensate for it by saying absolutely nothing at all. ]
Admittedly I'm not sure what more there is to find out. Hopefully nothing too terrible. --Oh, but... I forgot to mention it earlier, but.
The words 'red roses,' 'dictionary or thesaurus', and, um, 'cool off' don't have any special meaning none of us know about, right?
