Creeping despair tinged with loyalty. His physical immobility (the splinted leg) mirrors his emotional state—he is trapped by hopelessness but still clings to the mission out of duty to Vyon and Earth. There’s a quiet rage beneath his fatalism, a frustration that he cannot do more to help, and a deep-seated fear of the Daleks, which he voices indirectly ('They’ll find us'). His emotional core is acceptance of defeat, but his plea for Vyon to try again reveals a flicker of unresolved hope.

Complacent with a hint of defensiveness (his dismissal of Lizan’s observation suggests he’s more invested in maintaining his relaxed demeanor than in fulfilling his role).

Resigned and determined (off-screen), but forgotten (on-screen through the ignored alert).

Resigned despair (implied); his actions are driven by a grim acceptance of his inevitable end, contrasting with the officers’ frivolous priorities.

Smugly indifferent with a veneer of boredom, masking deeper anxiety about the responsibilities he’s neglecting. His emotional state is one of feigned superiority, using humor and dismissal to avoid confronting the weight of his role in the system’s failure.

Null (Daleks do not experience emotions, but their effect on the scene is one of oppressive dread and impending doom.)

A complex blend of fear, resignation, and quiet determination. His emotional state is one of acceptance—he knows his death is inevitable, but he channels his fear into ensuring Vyon’s survival. There is no panic, only a steely resolve to fulfill his duty until the very end.
