An '''emotional inhibitor''' was a device fitted into all [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cybermen]]. It allowed a [[human]] [[brain]] to exist without suffering a "meltdown" of overwhelming [[emotion]]s at what it had become. | An '''emotional inhibitor''' was a device fitted into all [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cybermen]].

[[Mickey Smith]] hacked into [[Cybus Industries]]' mainframe from [[Pete's World]] and located the code which all of the Cybermen's emotional inhibitors used (6879760) and texted it to [[Rose Tyler]]'s mobile phone. The [[Tenth Doctor]] loaded it to the computer system. The code was shut down and the inhibitors turned off. All the Cybermen realised what they had become and died from the emotions they felt.

When [[Bill Potts]] was mortally wounded on a [[Mondas]]ian [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]] orbiting a [[black hole]], she was converted into a Cyberman on [[Floor 1056]]. Her emotional inhibitor was the actual handlebars of the headset, the [[Surgeon (World Enough and Time)|surgeon]] telling her it would make her "not care" about the pain she would experience. The other [[Patient (World Enough and Time)|prototypes]] in the hospital lacked this feature, many constantly using their talk boxes to cry out about such, though the [[Nurse (World Enough and Time)|nurse]] would turn the volume down so as to make it inaudible.

Having been only partially converted, [[Ashad]] lacked an emotional inhibitor. Being a willing recruit to the [[Cyber-Empire]], he mostly retained control of himself, claiming to the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] that he did not need to be stabilised, though he was prone to emotional outbursts.
