I don't think we have much information on how it happens exactly. The interview with Jim I watched about a week ago made it seem like there might be multiple avenues for it, but the big takeaway I got from it was that Nemesis had limited resources in order to do what it does. We don't have an idea about how limited, but I'd guess that slowly taking over humanity one-by-one like a zombie horde is probably not possible. It has to be more strategic than infect anyone and everyone.

yeah. Nemesis seems more like it's on a very specific mission. To cause a cataclysmic event. Breaking into Demon Reach, or an imbalance with the Sidhe. It's a creator of chaos. If it could trigger such an event, it would be a big enough thing as to allow others to take advantage of the situation.

Or is everyone forgetting that Justine from the beginning was considered "insane"? Perfect cover for an inside job don't you think? Since she was considered insane, no one would suspect if she seemed a bit off from time to time. The White Court is a member of the Accords, has been from the start, perhaps Nemesis didn't have a specific mission in mind from the beginning, but it had the perfect undercover agent inside to pull off mischief when the conditions presented themselves. I'd say instead of being infested when she was held "captive" by the Fomor, that is when the plans for the mission went down..
forumghost:
Because Nemesis has no need for an undercover agent in the White Court when all indications are that Lord Raith was deeply connected with Outsiders to begin with, and if it did need an undercover agent, the Girlfriend of House Raiths Black sheep that is being set up for death would be a terrible Choice?
Besides, Narratively it really takes away from Thomas's situation if "lol she never loved you and was a plant the whole time".

One could also ask since Lord Raith has the Outsider connection why would they need to infect Justine in the first place? No, the assumption is that there is a close connection between Lord Raith and Outsiders, it has yet to be proven without a doubt.
Why would it narratively take away from Thomas's situation? The fact that Justine/Nemesis had set him up from the beginning makes his life all the more tragic.. Just think all the sacrifice for nothing,
and unless Justine's brain was totally replaced on the boat when Nemesis admits to deliberately getting pregnant to set Thomas up, Justine didn't love him in that moment, now the question is, did she ever love him? No, it just makes Thomas a totally tragic figure, lots of narrative value in that..
