Unintentional continuity

So I concluded that they had to be two different species from two separate worlds, with the name similarity just coincidental (but not exact -- Carreons from Carreon vs. Carreon from Carrea). And since I explicitly stated that in Watching the Clock, I guess it's official now.
I like the idea of amphibians with stubble, but you're right that subsequent references nailed that coffin. I'd forgotten that they showed up in Articles of the Federation later on.
 
Been a while since I read these. What makes Book 3 incompatible?
Among other things, Ogawa's kid.

Specifically, it's a girl in GW3, a boy named Noah in Titan. Also, isn't there disagreement between the two about whether her husband is alive?
That's explained as the result of unspecified time tampering in The Needs of the Many. The temporal psychosis-suffering Dulmer "remembers" both versions of Ogawa's child, Janeway's death and the subsequent Borg invasion and even the destruction of Vulcan in 2258. None of which happened in the novel's Star Trek Online(-ish) continuity.
 
^ But since 'Reed' is such a common name, why bother?

I don't think anyone's saying they would bother -- just that the fact that one Reed is Creole and one Reed is a WASP-y Englishman doesn't automatically preclude their being from the same family.

Particularly in a century when suborbital shuttles and transporter beams have rendered borders between nations effectively irrelevant.
 
The DS9 Millenium trilogy not only featured STXI-style muliverse theory but also gave the Grigari planet-eating, black hole-opening "singularity bombs". I hearby decree that it's some variation on Red Matter technology.

And was the Dyson Sphere from The Starless World built by the same super-race who built the one from "Relics"? (and of course, Scotty was eagerly sharing his Enterprise's Dyson Sphere adventure with anyone who would listen whenever the camera was off him. And Kirk's logs of the incident were all lost due to a filing error. Obviously.)

Or... since The Starless World ended with the sphere falling into a black hole, and sci-fi black holes are either a) deadly or b) magical time/space portals, it could even be... the same Dyson Sphere!
