[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5843878, member: 6673727"] Commander Handso sets aside whatever paper work he was feigning business with when Fury entered. The plump man takes a moment or two to consider Fury's words, and Orlando can almost hear the gears in Handso's head grinding from lack of use. When he does speak, it comes with the slow stutter of a series of half-formed thoughts being assembled in progress, firstly addressed mostly to himself, with his attention slowly turning to Fury. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise] "But why Parsons...the Krakens were considered a Ranocchian matter...and why wasn't I notified...?" [/COLOR] Handso's eyes widen as the implications of Fury's words hit home. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise] "So you're saying Parsons will fail in his efforts unless I step in?" [/COLOR] Handso's voice rises as he stands suddenly, the sizable bulge of his belly bumping his desk forward an inch or two. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"ANTONIO!"[/COLOR] he calls, presumably to his lieutenant. Before his subordinate can appear, however, Handso's eyes narrow. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Now wait a minute...why are you coming to me with this? Why would you ask [I]me[/I] for help?" [/COLOR]The Commander clearly hasn't forgotten his previous encounters with Fury.
