Patient (World Enough and Time)

The Patients, which occupied Floor 1056 of a Mondasian Colony ship, were partially-converted Cybermen awaiting full conversion.

The majority had their heads bandaged and constantly wore their surgical clothes. They were also typically attached to a voice box which they could talk, using a keypad to enter the words they desired to say. However, the nurse typically turned the volume down so one could not hear them, as they typically cried out about the pain. A select few would walk around, guiding the sick and dying of floor 1056 to the hospital to await full conversion or travelled to the upper floors to collect other humans to convert, such as Bill Potts. The majority, however, remained in the wards, some sitting in chairs, while others lay on beds. They appeared to share a consciousness, as a group moved in unison when they sensed Bill try to leave the hospital.

While the extent of their physical capabilities wasn't explored in detail, they could typically only move at a slow walk but were strong enough to restrain people should the need arise. Jorj also stated they were too strong for him to fight off and that they could snap people in half. (TV: World Enough and Time)
