Gordon Lowery

Grief-stricken, enraged, and deeply fearful (his world has collapsed, and he lashes out at the only target available: Cory).

Shocked, accusatory, and grief-stricken—swinging between anger at Cory and devastation over Garvey’s death, while the Varga’s horror sinks in.

Frustrated and skeptical, with underlying grief over Garvey's death. Lowery is resistant to Cory's authority but gradually accepts the urgency of the situation as the Dalek threat becomes clearer.

Skeptical and frustrated, with underlying grief over Garvey’s death and growing resignation to the dire situation.

Not applicable (deceased), but his memory evokes grief, guilt, and urgency in Lowery and Cory. His absence is a void that amplifies the stakes of their argument.

Angry and grieving, but gradually shifting to reluctant acceptance; his emotions are a volatile mix of personal loss and dawning realization of the larger threat. The Varga thorn and Dalek intel act as a cold splash of reality, tempering his defiance with fear.

Cautious pragmatism giving way to creeping unease—his skepticism is a shield, but Cory’s revelations about the Vargas’ synthetic origin plant seeds of doubt, threatening his composure.

Cautious skepticism giving way to alarmed realization as the weight of Cory’s words sinks in.

Frustrated defiance giving way to stunned realization—his initial anger at Cory’s dismissal of combat shifts to awe and concern as the alien vessel’s implications sink in.

Tense and curious, with a underlying frustration at the distraction from their survival-focused tasks. His awe at the vessel’s scale is tempered by his skepticism about its relevance to their immediate situation.

Horrified and panicked, oscillating between shock at the ship’s destruction and visceral fear of the Varga thorn’s implications—his emotions are raw and unfiltered, bordering on despair.

Horror, panic, and urgency dominate Lowery’s emotional state. He is overwhelmed by the destruction of the ship and the immediate threat of the Daleks, compounded by the pain and fear of the Varga thorn infection. His emotional state is one of desperation, as he grapples with the realization that their situation has gone from bad to worse in an instant.

Horrified and panicked, teetering on the edge of despair. Lowery’s emotional state is one of raw, unfiltered terror—first at the Daleks’ arrival, then at the loss of the ship, and finally at his own infection. His actions are driven by survival instinct, but his fear makes him reckless, nearly costing him and Cory their escape. There’s a sense of betrayal, as if the universe has conspired against him, and his trust in the mission wavers.

Unseen but implied fear and determination (struggling to survive and support Cory)

Grim acceptance with underlying exhaustion—his earlier skepticism has given way to a desperate, wordless resolve.

Lowery’s emotional state is a grotesque parody of his former self. The infection has erased his humanity, leaving only rage and the Daleks’ mantra. There’s no fear, no recognition—just the compulsion to kill, a mirror of the Daleks’ own ruthlessness.

None (posthumous), but his earlier transformation and death evoke a haunting sense of loss and the fragility of human resilience in the face of alien horrors.
