He might fail, but he's gonna pull out all the stops trying because, from his POV, it represents the best available escape option from catastrophe.

I picked Robotech as an example, but the same sort of consideration applies to other settings where the secret is even partly revealed, or where the Doctor drops in. Logically, in many cases, such a crossover will transform the crossed-over storyline permanently, if the people on the crossed-over side react as they logically would be expected to react.

Note that the problem there is that the players just disregarded the Secret and worse, did it in a world more technologically sophisticated than they are and worse did it in a setting faced with imminent annihilation.
