| 520 | _a"Blueblood" by Jim Harmon is a science fiction novella published in the early 1960s. The story takes place on a distant planet inhabited by two distinct humanoid races: the lighter-skinned Azures and the darker-skinned Indigos. It explores themes of racial superiority and inferiority through the perspective of a space pilot who interacts with these alien species and witnesses their societal dynamics. The narrative follows a space pilot, Johnny, along with his colleagues, Dr. Mike Ellik and Dr. Lee Chon, as they land on a peculiar planet populated by the two differing alien races. The Azures appear to hold power and social status, while the Indigos are depicted as their subservient class, leading Johnny and Ellik to speculate on the reasons for this division. As Ellik conducts a transformative surgery on an Indigo named Mhaw, turning him into an Azure, they aim to prove that the distinctions between the races stem from a medical condition rather than inherent inferiority. However, their plans go awry when Mhaw, now Aedo, rejects their help, showcasing the complexities of identity and societal roles. Ultimately, the story culminates in a bitter reflection on the nature of prejudice and the consequences of their endeavors, leaving the characters trapped in the cycle they sought to break.
