Composed but anxious, her medical instincts warning her of the dangers. She is torn between her desire to champion innovation and her duty to protect her crew. Jo’Bril’s volunteerism unsettles her, but she defers to the group’s scientific judgment—though her unease lingers.

Beverly’s emotional state is one of quiet pride and determination. She is genuinely moved by Reyga’s gratitude but remains grounded in her professional role.
