Conspiracies in Eden

I totally forgot about the line from Spock “Deriving sustenance from emotion is not unknown in the galaxy,” so this is actually a plausible and not totally out there AU. Thanks Nimoy!Spock.
Honestly in just a slightly different world, He Jiankui’s experiment especially in a tense or cold war sort of environment could easily have sparked off a genetics arms race that could have led to the Eugenics Wars, and given how fast science is going these days, it’s not actually too far off timeline-wise.
I wasn’t sure whether or not to include this, but I’ll go ahead and say it now (and probably update the tags to reflect this): John Harrison and Khan really are two different people in this rewrite, because while I appreciate the comics trying to actually explain why Khan is a white guy now, it was a nonsensical twist.
Main Points:
Star Trek (the 2009!movie verse) Cambion AU (New Genesis)
Summary: Jim and Carol have one (several) long-overdue conversation(s).
