Aliens arrive at our solar system and start scanning earth for threat. They find that one of the species happily carries around huge amounts(as per aliens) of Lithium without any concerns. Aliens freak out.
“What do you mean ‘they’re armed at all times’?”
“Sir, the local high intelligence are always armed with Lithium Power!”
“How? Lithium is to rare and unstable to sustain in non-council containers.”
“Well sir, they seem to have us beat there, their containment units have it down to the size of their palms.”
“Dear Maker. Why haven’t they found us before?”
“The good news, Sir, is that they seem to only be able to make it to their orbital body.”
“Oh thank-”
“By means of explosions.”
“…How are the inhabitants still alive?”
“From initial reports… not even they’re sure.”
