   “I”m just getting rid of these small explosives. Somebody could get hurt.”

   OK. Stepping back very carefully away from Pewter.
   I would suggest Foxglove to have her favorite EOD unit on speed dial.

   Just a guess, wouldn’t the manufacturer of these small explosives be some Chekhov, by any chance?

   @Helianthus, don’t be silly. The “Checkov Arms” company only makes pistols! Rifles and shotguns are too bulky to conceal onstage.

   Small explosives dangerous? Silly robot, those are light entertainment.

   Checkov’s Small Explosive is a variant of Checkov’s Gun, right? Checkov’s Land Mine and Checkov’s Booby-trap are less obvious so they usually need some narrative to blatantly point them out to the reader.

   ‘Course this is quite a ways past the first act.

    Small device does not necessarily mean small explosion. If a nuke can fit into a suitcase with our current level of scientific understanding; think of what a space-faring civilization’s military might fit in a grenade sized package.
