Why, Thomas, Why? (Peace Talks Spoilers)

I choose to believe DR is too basic and foreign to be Nfected, to believe otherwise pretty much screws reality without recourse and seems like an easy out for nemesis that would have been tried already.

What they probably are though are a disease vector, they can be used to infect immortals. A mortal whistles in an Outsider, and becomes infected, the mortal summons up another powerful entity, and the infection passes in its entirety to the other entity, maximum viral load all at one time. My guess is that if Nemesis is a single entity split between multiple bodies like the corner Hounds then it has a finite amount of itself and won’t waste it on the powerless or ineffectual and will seek allies where possible.

I think Nemesis can infect mortals. I also think your Hounds/Nemesis connection would be a good limiter on why Nemesis can't just infect everyone. It might work that Nemesis needs different amounts of power (viral load) to infect different hosts, so it can infect a Lady or a dozen lower powered Sidhe, for example.

I was thinking of the nameless Korean kid who was executed for dramatic effect at the start of the book.

Okay, I forgot him for some reason. But the same thing applies to him as to Molly. The difference
between them there was no Harry to step in soon enough before it was too late, the power he had over others because of his talent corrupted him completely. As it was, it was a near thing with Molly, as her back sliding demonstrates.

idk, likely Nemesis can come and go in those already compromised,like, they're tainted but not under direct influence or overpowered. I originally thought this from the scene in PG where mouse growls at molly but then just looks confused, Nemesis saw a foo dog and ran like a mofo, after reading zoo day I could see why, Mouse could chase it back to where it lives. That makes him a rather dangerous threat.
