For Deafening Silence, if you don't have any cards to discard, you can't target friendly (relative to the Archivist) Cadmus models in the 4.

For Corrupted Innocence, the "must discard a card" is skipped and you continue to the next effect (the "gain Stunned" effect.  

Because the two principles involve are:

• For the results part of an effect, if you can't do something, but have to try anyway, just skip it.
• For the condition part of an effect, if a rule or reality prevents you satisfying the condition, then you can't satisfy that condition.

Edit:  In other words...

If you have to discard a card to do something, and you don't have a card, you can't do that thing.  If the rules just say to discard a card and then some other stuff, you just shrug and do the other stuff.

Deafening silence has the discard as a cost, if you can't discard you cannot target Cadmus models with non-, non- actions.

With Corrupted Innocence the discard is built in but isn't required for the ability to happen, if you have no cards to discard you simply gain Stunned.
