Nemesis can only be in 13 places at once?

<< < (2/6) > >>

seanham:
It might also be the some of the 13 are just temporary hosts. Meaning that Nemesis needs them to make one or two decisions and then leaves them.

Xamion:
I believe the intent is more along the way of a security camera system, where you can have as many cameras as you want, but you are limited by the amount of screens and terminals at your disposal, to watch and operate them live.
So I think there can be an unlimited amount of infected individuals, but Nemesis can actively control or manifest through only 13 or so of them at a given time.
I would also argue that this limit is per universe/dimension/timeline as well, because otherwise having such a tiny limit would practically make Nemesis impotent, since we know there are hundreds of thousands of universes if not millions or more, due to every "major" decision from a ("important?") mortal creating a separate one.

Sattymike:
Nemesis has been in who that we know of so far: going off memory - there could be a bunch of significant individuals under the influence if the cap is as high as 13.
 
Cowl (still)
Probably Kumori
Lea (no longer, although maybe some residual presence)
Aurora (deceased)
Peabody (deceased)
Maybe Vittorio Malvora (deceased)
Maeve (deceased)
Cat Sith (still)
Justine (still)
Maybe Denton (deceased)
Probably Justin (deceased)

Am I missing people?  Was thinking maybe Thorned Namshiel when he ran on Arctis Tor based on Nicodemus reaction (that host is now deceased, so guess it doesn’t matter).  Some other denarians may be infected based on his comment to Harry in the aquarium.

That makes sense, or goes dormant for a time in a host till it's needed again.  That would make it extremely hard to detect, because the host would be acting normally most of the time.

Arjan:
But if it works like the monkey demon in blood rites spreading thin means each instance wil be weaker.
