Been Blued

These aliens have been away from Earth so long they no longer consider themselves human. They lost their women to a virus in space and returned with high hopes. In the few hundred years they've been back they've run into problems.<p>Incapable of mating until they've 'Been Blued' they search for women who will show them the affection and commitment their symbionts require for the process to begin.<p>Resorting to a reconfiguration cloning technique has given them a reprieve from pending extinction but their time is still running out.<p>The struggle to respect human free will seems to limit their possibilities; a few of them find the concept open to interpretation while others just want to return to space. One day a human accidentally Blues an alien. She has plans of her own and they don't include being matriarch to a new species. If her prospective husband and his friends can't change her mind they may not have a future.<p>To complicate matters the symbiont has started to spread to mankind. Its slightly telepathic nature will make avoiding detection by the humans that much harder. What's a fun loving alien to do?
