An espionage/science fiction trope where agents/those who know important information are wired so that if they are interrogated, they will die instead of divulging any information. Generally, it's a sign of having a Bad Boss who doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates, although at least in theory, it could be a somewhat humane way of allowing the captured agent to escape some amount of torture. Compare Cyanide Pill which is more "voluntary" and the related concept of the Explosive Leash. The equivalent for inanimate secret storage is Self-Destructing Security. |

Honor Harrington: The Mesan Alignment use these on their lower-ranking security officers, not only failing to tell them that they've put the implants in, but going so far as to have the implants kill in lots of different apparent ways so there aren't any statistical anomalies when Operation Houdini results in all of the non-expendable members of the Alignment having been extracted from Mesa and the Alignment gets to clearing up after themselves. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The episode "Eye Spy" deals with a master thief being manipulated by an unknown party who has given her an artificial eye functioning both as a camera and an explosive to be detonated in the event of her being compromised or disobeying an order. Her handler turns out to be under the same control and is killed this way when S.H.I.E.L.D. catches up to him. | |

Totally Spies!: One villain turns out to be an android who's only following the programming of the scientist who created him, who is also evil. He seems to be the scientist until the very end, at which point he has a Robotic Reveal and explains everything, including that he's programmed to self-destruct if he ever reveals that he isn't human... and so he does. | |

In the Vorkosigan Saga, Imperial Security agents are doctored so that they will have a fatal allergic reaction when given the universe's Truth Serum, which ironically was intended to prevent torture, but obviously, most people who know anything couldn't be given it. The protagonist was too politically important to be doctored in this way, but because of his odd medical history, he has an unusual reaction to fastpenta (becoming a Talkative Loon) and is able to exploit this to beat one interrogation he's subjected to in the series. His clone brother Mark, who has an undamaged metabolism, does have the standard allergy to fastpenta and would die if he received it. This usually doesn't become a suicide mechanism in the current era in-universe. It is standard policy for professionals to first test for a fastpenta-induced allergy before using the drug. In practice, this usually means the important operatives get to enjoy the old-fashioned interrogation methods. | |

If they succeed, they will be given the antidote at the extraction point. If they fail, the poison will kill them before the Nazis can torture them for information. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Senshock, one of the demon lord Iuz's minions in the adventure T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil, knows some of his master's secrets. If anyone (such as a group of player characters) uses Charm or any other Mind Control effect to make him reveal these secrets, Senshock will suddenly and mysteriously die, slain by luz himself. Module DA1 Adventures in Blackmoor. All of the Iron Duke's agents in the Comeback Inn (as well as the Warden in the Prison Out of Time) have a special Geas placed on them. If anyone uses torture or magic to try to force them to tell about the plan to kidnap King Uther, the Geas will kill them. Module OA5 Mad Monkey vs. the Dragon Claw. If the PCs capture any Dragon Claw monks while in the nation of T'u Lung and try to interrogate them in any way, the monks will burst into flames rather than reveal any of the secrets of their master. This effect is created by the demon Lung Jua (a.k.a. the Dragon Claw) himself. |

Stargate SG-1: The Priors are genetically programmed to burst into flame if they ever lose faith in their gods, the Ori. Though, Priors are so fanatically devout that this is hardly ever an issue, it's more common for them to trigger it intentionally. The brainwashed za'tarc assassins are programmed to commit suicide if their mission fails or if someone tries to mess with their brainwashing. |

A fairly complicated version of this appears in the X-Wing Series. There's a drug called skirtopanol that is used in interrogating prisoners, since it lowers their defenses and makes them more sensitive to pain. But if someone's been taking lotiramine, the chemicals react, sometimes fatally. An Imperial gave lotiramine to someone he'd used, telling the man that it would protect him from a plague that was going around. When the local villain caught up with the Imperial, he told him that the man had gone into convulsions and died after being dosed with skirtopanol. The Imperial was surprised. He'd have had to have been taking four times the recommended dosage to go into convulsions. | |

In the Tortall Universe, a death spell can be used for this purpose. It doesn't save the victim from torture/truth serum interrogation, but it kills him if he tries to give up accurate information. Aly comments to a captured spy that "if someone put three death spells on me, I'd wonder whether they trusted me at all". | |

Actors in The Acts of Caine are conditioned so that they cannot (on Overworld) admit they are Actors, speak Earth languages, etc. Approaching the topic can give them fits. They will die before they can say it. This only holds for the first book — it backfires when the natives of Overworld realize that the Aktir (as they call the Actors) cannot say the word, so between the first and second books the Actors have their conditioning removed. | |

In The Stars My Destination, the crew of the Vorga were implanted with a mechanism that would stop their hearts if they started to give information explaining why they passed by the wreck of the Nomad and the protagonist, Gully Foyle. When Foyle starts torturing the first of the crew members, he dies the moment he starts divulging information. After the second time this happens, Foyle gets annoyed. Using the illegal Bullet Time reflexes he paid for, he knocks out his third target, cuts out his heart and connects his circulatory system to an artificial blood pump within twenty seconds. Then he starts questioning him. | |

An occasional plot device in Perry Rhodan. Usually employed by villains, one pretty grim example actually repeatedly used by the protagonists during the Hetos occupation of the Milky Way Galaxy (though with no instance of it triggering ever shown) was an acid capsule implanted in the brain of members of La Résistance on missions where they might fall into enemy hands, designed to dissolve and release its contents under torture or upon death; justified by their enemies' technology potentially still allowing them to retrieve information from dead brains as long as those were still reasonably intact. | |

The Triads work these into their loyalty oaths in Shadowrun. Any Triad member who tries to reveal the organization's secrets after swearing these oaths will die on the spot, in a manner that depends on the Triad involved (massive internal bleeding and wounds spontaneously blowing open on the skin are just two of the known deaths). Note that this only covers betrayal to an outside organization; Klingon Promotion doesn't violate the oaths, as at least one Red Pole has learned to their advantage. | |

Kingsman: The Secret Service: All of the rich and affluent people were given an implanted device that will protect them from the Hate Plague that the villain plans to wipe out most of Earth's population with. It also turns out that these devices can be remote detonated to blow up their heads if they try to divulge any information about the evil plan. In the climax, Eggsy sets off every single device at the same time, killing everyone greedy enough to go along with the villain's plan. | |

In Battlefield Earth, the sinister cabal of psychiatrists that rules the Psychlo race has implanted mind-control devices in their subjects' skulls, both to modify behavior and protect the all-important secret of teleportation. If an alien asks a Psychlo about teleportation or even mathematics, males are conditioned to go into a suicidal killing spree, while females go catatonic. | |
