Last choice: You think he should challenge the man
The Doctor confronts the smuggler, noting the alien tech. “Eighteenth-century Cornish smugglers didn’t deal in spaceship parts!” he declares. The man grabs something from the table, revealing a half-built sonic beacon. Intrigued, the Doctor presses on, ignoring the Fengarian blaster aimed at him. “Is that for the moor zombies, or something else?” The smuggler’s haunted gaze hardens. “Who are you?” he growls. “I’m the Doctor,” comes the reply, “and I have a question.”
- If you think the Doctor should ask, ‘Who are you?
- If you think he should ask, ‘Why are you here?
- If you think he should ask, ‘How did you come by all this alien tech?
We all know the Doctor has mastered the arts of grace and decorum and would not go further into this conversation with out introducing himself, surely?
‘Why are you here?’ hopefully gives us a motive, which is way more helpful than a name or what has been done in solving this without too much violence, because it might uncover the root cause. Also it’s the most unexpected question, and therefore very in character for the doctor
All right, asking teh real questions now!
Asking the ‘why?’ question means he might also tell us where he comes from and who he is.
But I was missing the best and most important question in the options:
I really like this choice, just getting to choose a question is really fun in a way I’m not sure how to describe
I always prepare the next day in advance. I am too tired to do it in the morning. But it is so much harder to do this when there is no clear winner. Then I have to do two in advance. But now it is three options that are close to each other… All the extra work…
I had a few days off because of LIFE. But have just caught up and am excited.

Last choice: he should ask, ‘How did you come by all this alien tech
The Doctor demands to know how the man acquired the alien tech. Hesitantly, the smuggler admits he brought it “by ship,” though clearly not a typical 18th-century vessel. The Doctor presses further, questioning his identity and motives. The man counters, asking why the Doctor is there. “Holiday?” the Doctor offers cheekily, denying he’s following him. With a laugh, the Doctor reminds him it’s his turn to ask the questions.
- If you think the Doctor should ask once more, ‘Who are you?’
- If you think he should ask, ‘Why are you here?
We’re going around in circles now
Time to find out who he is! It’s good to know the name of your potential ally or enemy!
“You’re not following me then?”
He just woke up after getting knocked out, how would he have followed you unconscious?
Let’s find out who this apparently half-blind Cornish smuggler is.
Easy! He’s referring to that other Twelve!
A little late but finally my copy of this book arrived so I have caught up on events. Already this is better than The Spaceship Graveyard and having the author turn up in this thread is a wonderful surprise!
I’m voting without having read up to this bit as I’ve missed the last couple. I’ll have to catch up tonight.

Last choice: ask, ‘Why are you here?
Ravenwood hesitates, then lowers his weapon, introducing himself with a likely false name. The Doctor responds in kind, brushing off questions about his own name. Ravenwood, however, reveals he has heard of the Doctor, even in distant places like the Maldovarium, and admits he might need his help. The sudden plea surprises the Doctor, who remains wary after having a laser blaster aimed at him just moments earlier.
- If you think the Doctor should agree to help Ravenwood anyway
- If you think he should refuse to help the man
Well! It was a good question to ask, as we learned a lot! Yay!
And of course we’ll help. This is the Doctor after all, and Ravenwoon hasn’t done anything wrong yet at least.
The Doctor can either help and possibly save those villagers or claim some sort of ridiculous moral high ground while the villagers almost certainly will be killed by sea monsters
