By UFO
The Lab is easy to find if you come from any extrasolar planet. We are based on the blue planet three out from our sun. If you get to the red one, you’ve gone too far. We are in the middle of New Zealand, which is easily identifiable by its magnificent landscapes and peaceful people. Take care with your UFO when you are landing, as there is a busy road in front of the Building. Don’t forget to ask for a coupon to validate your visitor UFO parking!
