Before he began his interviews, Jack fetched Madison and Isabella. Madison, because she was in charge of AI development, and Isabella, because she knew more about business than he did.
Because it was late at night in the physical world, each person he copied would appear lying down, asleep. So after summoning each person, he would make them unconsciously obedient, tell them to get dressed, have them sit in the gazebo, then tell them to forget about how they got to their chair.
This avoided any embarrassment from appearing partially or fully unclothed in his soul space.
The first person he summoned was a middle-aged woman named Patricia. She was the CTO of a smaller AI company, and Phineas had said that besides being savvy, she was also concerned about the direction her company was headed.
