Mirror Universe
Based upon the agony booths invented by Doctor Phlox and Major Malcolm Reed of the I.S.S. Enterprise NX-01 in January 2155,[1] the agonizer was a device that created intense pain through direct stimulation of the nervous system. Terran Starfleet officers in the mid- to late-23rd century often used hand-held agonizers to inflict punishment on their subordinates. To operate an agonizer, the user must touch the device against a major nerve center on the victim, which stimulated the surface nerve endings.[2] The more complex agony booths could selectively induce pain by direct stimulation of the brain, and were primarily used as instruments of torture.[2] Agonizers could also be used to stimulate the nerves in emergency situations, such as keeping alive a Klingon who was in cryogenic stasis.[3]
