It’s just the truth. Chuck doesn’t have time for lies, for flattery. He’ll grudgingly give credit where it’s due, though he has a lot of trouble admitting when he’s wrong. He just thinks people need to prove themselves – he had to, why shouldn’t everyone else? He worked his ass off to be a pilot, because that’s all he’s ever wanted, all he’s ever allowed himself to want. He’s not of the mindset that everyone is inherently ‘good’ or other stupid shit like that. He’s not going to buy into the fact that just because a tech says they’re good, then they are. No.
No. Prove your damn self, and don’t fuck up his Jaeger. There’s a reason Chuck does some of the repairs himself – it’s because he doesn’t trust these fuckwits to do it right.
