The narrative assertion
"Zargo's decision to use the Doctor's blood to feed the Great One escalates the consequences of failure from mere punishment (e.g., feeding Habris to the Great One) to active vampiric consumption. This raises the stakes and makes the Doctors' survival central to the rebellion."
