Sometimes, this is because the need for secrecy outweighs the convenience of working in the heart of a city more often, it's because the subject matter is simply too dangerous to be allowed anywhere near the general populace in case of an accidental release of the viruses/bioweapons/genetically engineered creatures that are being developed. ![]() However, some experiments are a little too volatile for an urban setting.
