L really deserves all the votes of confidence after Richard and Tony both watched how he handled some silly porn, amiright?

He'll be reluctant himself, and be doggedly upfront about the fact that he sees no other option and can't have a machine no one knows anything about just floating around where they can't keep an eye on it. He will also do his very best to not seem so goddamn fragile because he has a way of doing that. Get it together, L.
