If they were simply bored I imagine that a pink fur implant or a shape-shifting tattoo would quench their thirst for change without the painful process of DNA alteration.

Their new blue membrane passion is also surprisingly not inspired by the fifth generation semi-cyborg Blue Man Space Group or the Avatar virtual reality program, as one may assume.

It seems that this crew are not groupies of the lovable blue drummers, nor are they seeking a fancier human packaging, but are actually blatantly dismayed and ashamed of their human-ness.

Yes, the crew of the Titynope has decided that they would like to present themselves as a different species to the other alien forms they encounter in the galaxy, so as to distance themselves from humanity’s past. To do so, they are smurfing themselves, by inducing a rare genetic condition called methemoglobinemia.

But my dears, is there anything more human than that?

Sure, humanity as a whole has had some very unflattering moments, to say the least, but I’d argue that we Homo Sapiens have also produced a lot of good and beauty.

In fact, the spacecraft you “new blues” are hurling through space in was not invented by dolphins. Neither were chocolate chip cookies, pizza, or the fridge. Have you tried living without a fridge? Perhaps you should have considered that before you decided to not be human.
