Maybe it's like in... I forget the name of the movie right now, but you know, they don't want their enemies to be able to dissect them so they dissolve when they die. (Then again... if they can make a device that makes them dissolve when they die, why don't they just make a weapon that causes their enemies to dissolve at the push of a button... Hmm.)

(Also, "dissolve" apparently has something to do with liquids. Pretend I used some other word.)
