Kiv's Donor Brain

The donor brain being transplanted into Kiv's new Cyberman body during the high-stakes procedure. It is a human neural organ selected for conversion, appearing as excised gray matter suspended in a sterile transference medium. The surgical team treats it as both medical specimen and precious commodity, with Crozier wielding precise instruments to attach it within the new body's cranial cavity. Matrona's clinical count of dead attempts suggests this specimen has endured multiple prior failures before the emergency revival attempt.
