"In an Orbit All the Way Around You" by glitterfics | Kirk/McCoy | AU | Centuries after the Eugenics Wars, Earth is still suffering from the effects of the wars’ brutal Guide Cull. When the Enterprise is sent to a planet claiming to have produced a serum which replicates the Guide gene, is this the answer Earth’s Sentinels have been waiting for? And how is it going to affect Jim Kirk, the Enterprise’s Sentinel captain? | ~24.000

McCoy immediately holed up in his office, studying the reports while the ship’s computer ran an analysis on the samples and the serum. Something was bugging him about the whole thing, something besides the fact that the Prillovians were obviously nuttier than a bunch of squirrels preparing for winter; he just couldn’t put his finger on what.

Aww, I just love Sentinel/Guide stories. I really should re-watch The Sentinel some day soon...
