Farewell, Fair Chuck
(We Hardly Knew Ye)
(truth be told, we knew ye not at all...)
To our dear departed Chuck, we offer our thoughts and memories
~eulogies from those who knew him well~
Michael, Level 5 Operative:
"Ah...that Chuck. When Jurgen was training us, we all
used to prank him -- put Saran wrap over his toilet seat, short-sheet his bed --
you know, all the things young operatives are prone to do, but
Chuck would always take it just a bit further, HE was the one who'd
throw itching powder in the bed, for example. We respected him for stunts like that. And I'll never forget the time Ted
and I were undercover with Jurgen in the kitchen of a Red Cell enclave -- of course, the situation was very tense -- and Chuck came through on
B channel, asking very seriously 'Hey, Jurgen, is the refrigerator running?'
Well, you can imagine the rest! I tell you, we screamed with laughter...
well, actually Jurgen didn't, but the rest of us just fell about. Ah, good
times... But, on a serious note, Chuck was an honourable man, and I admired
that -- so it didn't bother me when he teased me, after Simone died the
first time, for having changed into what he called 'a big stuffy stiff'.
I actually think it might have been the death of Chuck that caused me to
cut myself off from people, to a degree. I mean, to a greater degree.
Okay, completely."
Nikita, Level 2 Operative:
"Chuck was a darling. When I first got my own place,
Chuck would come over to keep me company, and we'd make popcorn and play strip dominoes.
He was always there for me. I fixed him up with Carla once, but he dumped her. Said he had a funny
feeling about her. He and I stayed up all night, many a night, just trying on sunglasses
and yakking. I could tell him anything. A friend is someone you can TRUST, you know?
No blank stares with him around, except when
he was doing his dead-on Michael impression. He loved to have fun and was game
for anything. He once donned a wig and made me paint his toenails, then he streaked
the Freedom League Annual Faction Picnic. The long wig hair got in his eyes and he
tripped right over two of their terrorists in the middle of the three-legged race.
We shrieked about that like teenaged girls, for weeks. Oh, but don't get the
wrong idea, Chuck was no wuss, it was all in good fun. He was all man. Yeah...QUITE the man. Pink toenails and all..."
Seymour Birkoff, Techno-Geek:
"Chuck was a real friend, never cuffed me in the
head or anything like that. He was totally non-linear -- not
everyone is, you know. When I first came into Section he would play
computer games with me. He was kinda stuck on this dorky game called Pong,
and since I was the one who knew so much computer stuff, I actually had to teach
him a few things. And he paid attention -- learned enough to get an awesome
score in Tetris a long time ago-- but of course he couldn't come close to my
personal best. But Chuck was cool, he'd sneak me in Oreos and candy when Operations wasn't
looking. He promised me he'd teach me how to shave one day. When that day
comes is when I'm really going to feel the loss most, I think."
Walter, Munitions Expert:
"Oh, man, Chuck was a gas. For a cat with a
militaristic haircut, he sure had a groovy vibe. And he was always on the Section
entertainment committee. Once, for my birthday, he somehow coaxed or dared
Madeline into jumping out of this huge cake he rolled over to the
briefing table. She went him one further and popped out wearing nothing
but sugar frosting -- surprising not just me but everyone in Section!
Michael actually laughed out loud, Ted fell off his chair, and
Operations' cigarette dropped right out of his mouth. Burned a hole right
through his cashmere turtleneck... Anyway, it was right then and there that
I started calling the ladies "Sugar" -- it was like this private joke
between Chuck and me."
Christopher, Section Chef:
"Chuckie? Tsk. Just a spicy little cinnamon-croissant, that
boy! Ooooh, let me tell you, he was a scamp! Used to come into my kitchen
late at night -- oh, about the second Tuesday of every month, it seemed,
and would just drain Christopher dry! Why he'd eat everything in sight, it
was all I could do to swish around and keep food in front of him. You'd
have thought the boy'd had a hard night out at the disco, or was carb-loading
for some sweaty marathon! (Although, between you and me -- pinky-swear, now!-- I never
once saw him dance OR run!) Tsk! He was just SO bad!
He had such a way about him, that fuzzy-headed bit o' honey...tsk.
He once talked me into making this HUGE cake for Walter's
birthday...but, I think I really shouldn't say any more about that.
Oh dear, I'm vibrating!
Madeline's just given me a li'l buzz -- Girlbaby probably needs another
lemon to suck on, or something! TTFN, darling!"
Madeline, Section Strategist:
"My nickname for Chuck was Second Tuesday, because
that is when we would...um, when I would have him ...er, when he was
SCHEDULED for a regular, uh -- review, the second Tuesday of every month.
*ahem* Chuck was a valuable operative who always gave 110% percent. He could be gentle as well as firm, and he
had very soft hands... Oh, and as an operative, of course, Second Tuesday
-- I mean, Chuck -- had stamina, was...strong...yeah, uh -- STRONG -- that's
the ticket, strong just like a horse, if...if you know what I mean.
He was AMAZING and I was always very, very satisfied after -- I mean, WITH --
his performance. Very. Did I mention how soft his hands were?"
Operations:
"Chuck was the only operative who could get away
with giving me noogies, if that tells you anything. Could you excuse me?
I- I- I seem to have something in my eye....*snif*"
