Junction Machine Ellone is a device that exists in the distant future era in Final Fantasy VIII, though it never makes an actual appearance. It was created by Dr. Odine after intense study of a kidnapped Ellone, who possesses the unique ability to send a person's consciousness back in time into the mind of a person she knows. Dr. Odine created the Junction Machine Ellone to replicate Ellone's power, and the device proved successful in doing so, though not to the power and extent of Ellone's natural ability.
