A notable [[behaviour]]al characteristic of the patients was their constant cries of [[pain]], as, unlike further-[[Evolution|evolved]] models, these [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] lacked [[emotional inhibitor]]s. The [[Nurse (World Enough and Time)|nurse]] of [[Floor 1056]]'s [[Hospital (World Enough and Time)|hospital]] would silence the patients by muting their [[voice synthesiser]]s, as, prior to their evolution into [[CyberMondan|Mondasian Cybermen]], there was no cure for the patients' suffering; as a result, some patients repeatedly asked to be [[Euthanasia|euthanised]]. However, despite their pain, the patients were still perfectly capable of [[Speech|speaking]] clear [[word]]s and phrases, although these were often stagnated in delivery and toned awkwardly. At least one patient displayed the ability to communicate without a voice synthesiser by howling. | A notable [[behaviour]]al characteristic of the patients was their constant cries of [[pain]], as, unlike further-[[Evolution|evolved]] models, these [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] lacked [[emotional inhibitor]]s.

Following their [[Cyber-conversion|conversions]], the patients were often simply left to sit in [[wheelchair]]s in the hospital's wards, appearing to [[sleep]] in some manner, despite their pain. However, the patients would respond in unison to somebody attempting to leave the hospital that was not supposed to. Additionally, the patients were capable of [[walking]] despite their lack of [[vision]], although this also meant that said walking speed was slow. Some patients would raise their [[Cyber-arm|arms]] forwards to guide them whilst walking. The patients were occasionally used to escort people from the [[city]] on Floor 1056 to the hospital for cyber-conversion, and were sometimes even sent in the [[inertia lift]]s to the higher floors of the [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|Mondasian colony ship]] to forcefully capture any remaining [[Mondasian]]s elsewhere on the ship for conversion.

Reflecting their nature as a [[Cyber-subspecies|subspecies]] of Cyberman, the patients were highly resilient when tasked with completing a mission; for example, the patients sent to capture the Mondasians of [[Floor 0507]] for conversion continued to repeatedly resume their mission, despite being constantly shot down and restrained by the residents of said floor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') The patients also obeyed the orders of their leaders without [[question]], even if doing so would lead to their [[death]]s. | Reflecting their nature as a [[Cyber-subspecies|subspecies]] of Cyberman, the patients were highly resilient when tasked with completing a mission; for example, the patients sent to capture the Mondasians of [[Floor 0507]] for conversion continued to repeatedly resume their mission, despite being constantly shot down and restrained by the residents of said floor.
