There were of course limitations to Bob's True Multiple Projection, since he wasn't OP.
First of all, it wasn't as though he could just summon Valentine, Rafederokovic, Darken Mysterius, and Leon Artiste physically into the room, since they would currently be in the middle of doing stuff.
Valentine was currently in a business meeting, Rafederokovic was currently doing his sports training, Darken Mysterius was busy playing 8D chess whilst plotting and planning top secret missions, and Leon Artiste was currently in the middle of creating yet another Artistic Masterpiece.
However, he was essentially the Master Consciousness, as his Alter-Egos were essentially 'Bobs' who had embarked on an alternative space-time pathway, and as a result, he could selectively channel their knowledge, skills and insights and integrate them as part of his Consciousness if he so chose.
And he also wasn't someone to rush. If he just suddenly said that his alter-egos were superstars, a world-leading CEO, a legendary artist and an top secret quintuple agent, it… might be too much.
The words of Master Li came to him.
"Always prepare... otherwise beware."
That was why he had mentioned that Allie could bring a friend - he wanted her to feel safe and comfortable no matter what. It wasn't about Ego, it was about being real and creating something real.
There was also a reason why he had asked Allie to meet him at the University Research Centre.
The Centre, where he had first done his research with Ms Heidi, was home to the basic [Multiple Progression] Technology which he had personally developed further and taken to the next level to become [True Multiple Projection], and using this self-modified device, he was able to simulate simulations, holograph holograms, and project projections of alternate realities - including the inner worlds of his Alter Egos.
As always, it was best to start off slow.
"All people have a lot of different sides to them. Perhaps we are good at sport. Perhaps we like to draw and make music. Perhaps we run a business.
They are different parts of us, but due to the limits of time, we cannot always do everything we would like at the time we would like."
"Okay... Go on."
So far Bob was making sense.
"So I asked myself, what if we could control time and space, so that you could actually follow those alternative paths that we didn't get to travel down?"
What if that young person decided to pursue their love for sports... or their love for music and creative arts, or their love for business...
Regardless of what it is, Multiple Projection made it possible for me to explore those possibilities.
It was well known that Multiple Projection Technology - the next step after video-games and virtual reality - allowed people to simulate alternate realities.
"Well... what if you could make those simulations - real?
All I did was come up with [True Multiple Projection] - in other words, I made those simulations - real."
Bob projected some holographic avatars into the space - 4 of them - they were just outlines to preserve anonymity, since he wanted to save the full reveal for just Allie later if she was okay with it.
Anonymous silhouettes outlining Rafederokovic, Darken Mysterius, Leon Artiste, and Valentine Richést appeared in the room.
