"Captain what's this on the fruit knife? "

"Oh heavens, I forgot to wash it, that's my blood of course. "

"Why is it glowing?"

"What are you on about, that's what it always does, wouldn't be blood without the glow would it"

The crewmate shifted his eyes back and forth between the captain and the glowing fruit knife.

"Your blood glows? CHRIST it's floating now! That's not normal! I shouldn't have to be the first to tell you that blood doesn't look like bloody molten metal!"

"Of course it looks bloody it's my blood after all."

By this point the glowing fruit knife had started to drip "blood" upwards.

"Right, so walk me through this."

"Yep"

"Your blood is metallic, drips upward, and glows?"

"All blood does."

"Right you're off your rocker. You even human Captain?"

"Of course I'm human, I get cut by fruit knives just the same and bleed just the same as you."

"Hell , if that's normal I must be the king of Mars. No sense figuring you out, I'm going to go figure out the bottom of a bottle instead."

As the crewmate walks off a faint " I swear if this is the third "deity" I meet this week I'm ejecting my dorm module...."

The captain, simply enjoyed his oranges alone in the mess hall.
