Does that make 11 the last incarnation? Or do they have to change things so that doesn't happen?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
If it makes 11 the last incarnation, that both contradicts canon (I think somewhere in old Who, the 13th regeneration was shown?) and seems to shoot themselves in the foot.

Actually, I think somewhere in old Who they said they'd only get to an 11th regeneration, and people were wondering how Moff would write his way out of that.

Wikipedia says:
It is first stated in The Deadly Assassin (1976) that a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times before dying (thirteen incarnations in all).

Why, then, was I thinking there was foofurrah about this being the last possible? Because of Ten's half-regen, and maybe something else?
