*The first [[Awoken]], now transcended into mental energy moving along the [[Jupiter]]-[[Io (moon)|Io]] [[wikipedia:flux_tube|flux tube]].<ref group=note>The Jupiter-Io flux tube is a cylindrical section of Jupiter's magnetic field line which passes between Jupiter and Io. If it were able to be seen by the naked eye, it would resemble a tube of electromagnetic force between the two. Electrical current passes along this flux tube forming a circuit between the planet and moon, which ionizes the cloud of volcanic sulfur, oxygen, sodium and chlorine into a ring of plasma which surrounds the planet, boosting its already powerful magnetic field even further. The flux tube itself boosts radio emissions from Jupiter, making them increase considerably when Io's orbit brings it closer to Earth.</ref> | *The first [[Awoken]], now transcended into mental energy moving along the [[Jupiter]]-[[Io (moon)|Io]] [[wikipedia:flux_tube|flux tube]].<ref group=note>The Jupiter-Io flux tube is a cylindrical section of Jupiter's magnetic field line which passes between Jupiter and Io.
