Decide Your Destiny: Claws of the Macra - Read-along 8

Claws of the Macra - Part 12

You catch up with the Doctor and Amy, who are investigating something suspicious with the gas company. The Doctor’s scanner detects a dangerous concentration of toxic gases, some from the Praxis range—unusual for this planet. Concerned, the Doctor suggests Amy should find your missing school group, who might be in serious danger near the refinery.

  • If you want to help Amy find your school party, go to 77.
  • If you’d rather stick with the Doctor, go to 114.

Ah, now we’re getting to these choices where you can nullify your previous choice…

Why would I go back to my group now when I just left it?

Besides, I kinda like this man. He looks a bit like me! What’s the worst that could happen? We come across some styrofoam monsters with big claws?

But this choice isn’t about just going off with the school, it’s about saving them. That’s what a companion would do and we get to go and do it with Amy. Honestly, have you lot ever seen a Doctor Who story… :wink:

I don’t think we can rely on you to make a choice here. You’re obviously biased, Mr Teacher. I think your vote shouldn’t count :wink:

So you want to watch 14 children and their two teachers die at the hands of the Macra?!

And I thought Scandinavians were a peaceful people nowadays. Clearly the Viking blood is still strong.

Claws of the Macra - Part 114

You follow the Doctor through a refinery as he searches for clues to stop a looming disaster. Suddenly, screams erupt — a giant creature is attacking the school party. The Doctor identifies it as a Macra, a monstrous, crab-like alien. Chaos erupts as it hurls a school kid and charges toward you, spraying slime. Amy screams for you to look out!

Go to 93.

Claws of the Macra - Part 93

You wake up with a headache, safe in a side lab with Amy, who explains she dragged you and the Doctor away after the Macra went berserk. Suddenly, the Doctor bursts in full of energy, urging you both to follow him — there’s more work to do and something important to see.
Follow the Doctor to 113.

Claws of the Macra - Part 113

Inside a high-tech lab, the Doctor and Amy learn from Professor Banahan that the Macra are being used to absorb toxic by-products from the refinery, forming a symbiotic relationship. However, the Macra are agitated due to recent disturbances. To resolve the situation, the Doctor suggests they go talk to the Macra directly.
Interview with Macra - on 84!

Claws of the Macra - Part 84

The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to calm the Macra and enters a gas-filled chamber where he communicates with their leader. The Macra explain their wish to help Earth by absorbing toxic gases and propose a Macra Accord — a partnership to fight pollution. Some will stay and aid humanity, while others return to space. The Doctor is delighted, and the Macra thank you all for your help.

The adventure ends with peace, cooperation — and one unforgettable school trip!

What the heck it just suddenly ended with no more choices?!

That’s not how to do one of these books!! :enraged_face:

And it was so well made until today

That was the end?

THAT WAS THE END!?

What the hell was that?

Also, didn’t those Macra at least nearly fatally wound a bunch of school children? Why is the Doctor just like “aww, they were having a bad day”?

Also why were the Doctor and Amy there in the first place if they were what caused the Macra to go berserk?

Also why is everybody so calm about a clearly very dangerous and unstable symbiotic relationship?

Why did we get like five different pages in a row without choice and then the end?

That was dumb.

Why do these books always disappoint?!? I’m going to give it a re-read and try out some of the other branches.
