This study is being done under the aegis of the Surface Resources Office, a tiny, rather pathetically underfunded section of the Planet Calypso Geologic Survey...
["huh," the man sitting by the fire thought, as he read over what he had written..."Might have to edit that a bit..."]
...in hopes that the scientific community might begin to understand and even predict the appearance of certain natural stone deposits. The first stage of the study has been completed. Results are appended, and simple enough that a bureaucrat can understand. [Hmm...]
The lead researcher [...only researcher...] has closely surveyed the ground surface [...walked around...] in the vicinity of teleporters throughout the southern continent, searching for the stone outcroppings once thought worthless, but now of some interest to colonists [...you can sell them...]. Where the investigation discovered deposits of the stones, the time elapsed and the number and type of stones were noted.
If sixty minutes passed without discovering any such outcropping, then the investigation was suspended and the researcher moved on to the next sample. The results are marked with an "X" where nothing of interest was found. Where some other natural spawn was found--fruit or type II dung--it has been noted with a "/".
["And I wonder if they ever found where I put all that dung..." the man mused, smiling up at the stars.]
In the first phase, every area has been sampled five times.

, but that was in VU 9.x - Since then, I regularly walk there and find near nothing
