See, that was what I remembered, that it came in the 90s!

First “choice” does seem rather obvious, but who knows?

Isn’t there some character named Drax in Gallifrey? The name sounds familiar. Is this the same guy?
How were the other Read-Along books written? The Sixth Doctor CYOA books are all in second person and composed in “a prose-like style”.

Drax is the Doctor’s buddy from the Academy, he first appeared in The Armageddon Factor and in a bunch of audios.
Mostly in third person, and much simpler in style. Clearly aimed at children.

Oh! I’ve never read or watched anything he’s been in other than this book, so I was taken aback by his manner of speaking. I’m skeptical of any Time Lord except the Doctor; it seems like none of them are good people.

He speaks that way in his other appearances as well. It’s part of his personality

It’s good that Delta has us younger people here, seeing as he hasn’t learned how to google yet

He is writing his comments here on a typewriter and gives the paper to his son, who makes the comments for him…

I can actually see him sit in his wood-panelled sitting room, typing away on his typewriter while sipping his tea, while his Delta and the Bannermen VHS runs in an endless loop on an old analogue TV behind him…

Search for the Doctor - Two
Last choice: you decline it, go to Two.
You decide not to give in to Drax’s offer. He ups his offer to €50,000, then €100,000, but you continue to turn him down. Finally, Drax asks what you want. You tell Drax that you refuse to barter until you see what’s in the crate, and you have a hunch that Drax knows how to open it. Drax agrees to help you see what’s inside, and hits the crate with a hammer. This reveals a number pad, which Drax suspects is set up only for your use. You press your hands against the pad, which releases the container, revealing a robot shaped like a Doctor. A letter is included from Sarah Jane, identifying this as K9 Mark III. Sarah Jane tells you that K9 will connect with a Gallifrey databank as soon as he is activated.
While K9 boots, Drax tells you a story that he had once been trapped in 1950s London after his TARDIS broke down. He attempted to steal the Crown jewels, and was put in prison for this. This was where he met K9 Mark III, who came with the Doctor to bust Drax out of prison. Drax has recently learned that the Doctor is in trouble, and has come back to get K9 in order to save him.
K9 finishes his scanning of the situation and announces that the Doctor is in toroidal stasis in the Mojave Desert. Drax indicates that his TARDIS is parked on the hotel roof, but he hasn’t been able to get it to work properly.
On the roof, you find a 1956 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Drax explains this is his TARDIS, the disguise specially chosen to blend into Los Angeles in the 1950s, as he initially thought the the Doctor was in 1956 and not 2056. Drax believes the ship can’t leave, and suggests they get it off the roof and drive it to Los Angeles. To get it off the roof, you suggest he rents a Skyrider Crane.
After Drax leaves, K9 finishes his analysis of the TARDIS revealing it is still capable of dematerialisation. He suggests you leave Drax behind and “borrow” his TARDIS, as saving the Doctor is more urgent than waiting on Drax.
- To do as K9 says and leave without Drax, go to 17.
- To wait for Drax to return, go to 6.
- If you want to see what has happened to the Doctor, go to 10.

I like Drax, and he seems genuine when he said he’s repaying a favour. Let’s wait up and see what’s his plan

Part of me wants to wait for Drax because I quite like him.
Part of me really wants to go on an adventure solo.
But we can find out what has happened to the Doctor! Of course we’re doing that!
