"No, aye, I can't blame ye. It's a lotta people ye don't know and most everyone seems fine and wouldn't say anythin' but the more people know somethin', the more points of possible failure there are."
She knows that well enough. The more g:L gets out there, the more risk they put themselves in.

Keeping a sentient being, that also just so happens to have the potential power to cause mass destruction, out of another evil power's hands where he'd be poked and prodded at and god knows what else is just as important, she figures.
