| Built from a full read of all 61 chapters of <i>We Are Legion (We Are Bob)</i>, indexed with a local grounded-retrieval | |
| pipeline. Roster and parentage come only from the book; anything it doesn't state is marked | |
| <b style="color:var(--guess)">best guess</b>. Deltans (Archimedes, Moses, Arnold), humans, rival-nation | |
| probes (Medeiros, the Australian “Emperor Mung”), and joke handles are excluded. | |
| <br><br> | |
| <b>Note on the avenging fleet:</b> Ch. 60 calls it “eight version-3 Bobs, including myself,” yet names | |
| ten across the battle (Khan, Hannibal, Tom, Hector, Fred, Jackson, Barney, Kyle, Elmer, Ned) — a | |
| count discrepancy in the source, shown here as named rather than trimmed to eight. | |
