Excellent point, Marc! And more nitpickiness on my part:
"Captured aliens are human in appearance except for the green hue of
their skin caused by breathing a green oxygenated liquid, which is
believed to cushion their bodies against the extreme acceleration of
interstellar flight."
Once again, correct me if I'm wrong, but the green tint wasn't caused
by "breathing a green oxygenated liquid". The green tint of the
liquid was ABSORBED by the skin. Also, wasn't it only the head that
turned green, being in contact with the fluid? The hands were always
flesh tone. Yes, I'm getting REALLY nitpicky, now. : )
