With the reference in mind ~The X-files pain, who thinks that there may be a machine(an actual REAL machine controller) which can cause pain to an individual via some chemical channel of sorts as illustrated in CHRIS CARTER's hit series the "X-Files"? (Krycheck vs. Skinner example reference) For those of you not familiar with the show there is a scene where one guy is seen to be operating a handheld device(like a handheld computer/organizer) which actually, with the turn of a knob could cause PAIN to another. Veins would "flare" with the action of the device(it could be turned off and on and up or down like a VOLUME control on a tv or radio, except in this case it controlled/caused the chemistry to excite/decite in the "subject" and come across in the form of vein/artery inflamation/deflamation thus causing PAIN)... it was almost like it was activating something in the blood, or something...I personally really don't know the science behind it. But you could easilly see how one thing could lead to another and thru the pain impulse controlled system such illustrated, a process would be developed/refined and such a method could be used to "control out" another via mechanisms of such.

Say a person was afflicted by or under the influence of a certain chemical .... and then this chemical was the "conduit"(there's probably a better word choice) for the "contolling action" to take place.

body itself is a machine-like. it functions well as long all the parts are in working condition.

The x-files you are describing relates with something that is well known among scientist and researchers.
It's called nano-technology
What you've seen in that episode is still science-fiction but nano-technology is something extremely serious that many corporations have their eyes set on it.
It will be the pinacle of computerized micro-reduction. Something that was started quite sometime ago with the invention of personnal computers or cellphones.
The most logical application for nano-technology will be to deal with microscospic forms (virus, dna and cells) but it use will most certainely be expanded to an infinite number of things.
