The longstanding scientific consensus was that there are three isolated species living in the noonelands:
· God Level Arthropods, a complex of practically indestructible giants with terrifying mental powers,
· aerogel combs, which are like naturally-occurring 10-mile wind tunnels,
· Bodhisatvas, or half-ghosts, which are linked to the realm of the dead in ways we don't understand.
The rare appearance of a hovering, motionless boulder miles above base roil --
which we had thought was a behavior of a levellar or a miscellaneous deformation of space --
has of late been not just attested, but closely documented, and in doing abraded by sheer chance
inside a palp aleph which serendipitously provided a loose fragment of the specimen to traduce
whereupon it ceased to evince quark ductility and through a destructive paramagnetic analysis
under standard laboratory conditions was determined to contain traces of denatured silicate cell walls
whose panfringent precession indubitably indicates the phenomenon to be the work of levitating diatoms!!
That's right!! a fourth form of tempesta... we've been calling them 'saxums' but we're open to names!

You want a half a million dollars so you can look at tiny rocks on a rock.

Mmm, well, it sounds like that particular pickle jar has been unpuzzled. And what precisely would be the non-speculative, immediate benefit of playing with algae for -- 6 hours of palp time?? -- that would outweigh e.g. mapping the Pollux leynome.
A completely new form of bio-antigravity -- there could be m-- worth in a novel approach...
But antigravity is trivially achievable.
.........yes..........
Er - Doesn't it seem that, like all life in those regions, their properties are reliant upon the fantastic distortions of noönvironmental physics and if captured and relocated into normal space their effects must disappear? Regardless of thaumaturgical intervention.
we can't be sure until we try a few more times.
