Professor Parsons

Bio
Professor Parsons (first name unknown) is a military scientist contracted by the Pentagon to produce or refine plastic explosives. His work is monitored by Agent Hartley, who brings in Agent Michaels as a supervisor. Parsons demonstrates the properties of the explosive to Michaels and Hartley, in which it explodes when dropped. Parsons also reveals that 75 pounds of the explosive was produced, but they lost 25 pounds when it was washed overboard during a sea storm. When Hartley expresses concern that a hostile power could find the explosives, Parsons assures them that it was lost in the Pacific Ocean, as he says "hundreds of miles from the nearest land", the scene cuts to the crate actually washing up in the lagoon on the island where Gilligan and his pet monkey find it.
