Winston Kyle (mirror)

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

For the regular universe counterpart, see John Kyle.

Winston Kyle was a human of the mirror universe who served in the Terran Empire's Starfleet in the 23rd century. He was a transporter chief on the ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701).

Kyle had been operating the transporter during an ion storm, Captain James T. Kirk , Doctor Leonard McCoy, Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott , and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura were beaming aboard the Enterprise at the same time as their counterparts from the original universe were beaming on board to their Enterprise. A power surge in both universes led to the two sets of people being transposed, and the people from the original universe beamed on board the mirror universe starship.

Mr. Spock and Kyle were unaware of this transposition taking place - it appeared to merely be a difficult transporter cycle. Spock then confronted Kyle over his apparent failure to compensate for the ion interference. Taking Kyle's agonizer Spock used it to torture Kyle in punishment. (TOS episode: "Mirror, Mirror"; novel: Glass Empires: The Sorrows of Empire).
