Re: Private message
Several reasons. Most importantly because your alternative is to hope the Doctor gives you what you want, which looks unlikely. Bargaining is always safer than ransom. You have something I want, which I cannot obtain if I don't give you what you desire. I won't be operating under duress and have no history of betrayal with you. Also, I don't have any desire to defeat or harm you. I'm sure you have enough faith in your abilities not to be threatened by me.
