Orion And Kraken

Real people and fictional characters see the stars. Science fictional characters sometimes travel between them. We inhabit the same universe but on different scales. James Bond saw the Milky Way and the North Star, here. Next, in Dr No, Chapter XIV, he sees Orion, a name to conjure with.

Then, in Chapter XVIII, he fights and kills a giant squid which he identifies as:

"...the mythical kraken..."

Dr No, XVIII, p. 163. (See above link.)

Thus, Bond connects with a work of fantasy by Poul Anderson.

The problem planet, Gwydion, is referred back to, in authentic future historical style, in the following Technic History instalment but not in any way that continues its history. Do other planets quarantine Gwydion or just avoid contact during Bale time?
