Ah. Maybe 'miasma' is the wrong word. It was an essence mixed in the Lifestream. And as it tore across the land, those touched by it had a chance to become infected. After, it appeared often in water.
There were reports that those who were feeling their mortality, the fear of death at the time were the ones who developed geostigma. The physical breakdown of the patient's body as it fought against the invasion was painful. But the 'disease' itself, if you could call it that, seemed to feed on despair and suffering. The more you thought of giving up, well. The faster it progressed until the victim's body gave out.
Hm. I'm not sure exactly how the first came into existence.
[ He has bits of the story thanks to Tseng and Elena but... ]
But a catalyst somehow brought Kadaj into existence. The other two may have came because of this limited 'success'. But that's just a theory. As you say, it took more to bring Sephiroth himself back. He doesn't see them as real people. To him, that may be because they never were meant to be more than a stepping stone. And Jenova may not have been enough.
Maybe Cloud was the final piece. Maybe not.
[ There is a pause. ]
I don't say this because I believe there is no hope. But from a purely practical standpoint, the only reason Kadaj and Yazoo have physical forms... that need to eat and breathe and sleep and can get hurt. That is because of the Admiral. If their limiters were removed, they would be just as they were on our world, I think. Well, physically at least.
That is something you shouldn't tell anyone without their permission. It can lead to a lot of problems if it was spread around.
As they should. Vincent probably takes a bit to respond. Work, but also getting details right.
