Seems the government has had enough of Plum Island, and are abandoning it for new digs in Manhattan... Kansas. Maybe the heat was on after Montauk Monster conspiracy theorists got through with them; or, you know, something about that mutant-fingered dead man found on the testing site's shore. But anyway! The ol' research lab for highly infectious animal diseases can all be yours; as Animal points out, it's located just two miles off Long Island and boasts "840 acres surrounded by stunning waterfront views and sandy beaches." And that's not all, along with the lab, you'll also get a lighthouse from 1869, the remains of an Army base, and plenty of surprises washing up on shore.
