Firestarter weapon

A firestarter weapon is a metallic cattle prod like weapon used by faceless aliens that can incinerate humans and objects with a single touch.
It is not known how the device functions.  Bodies found burned by these devices were described by Marita Covarrubias.  She said it was the result of "some kind of intense biochemical reaction."  In any case the reaction seems to be instantaneous.
