Night fell over the large NIST campus in New York State. Located in a remote area near the city of Woodbury, the campus was a center of excellence in science and technology, where cutting-edge research was conducted in a variety of fields, from quantum physics to biotechnology, only last month it also began to be used to train the state's next generation of geniuses.
The sky was starry and a gentle breeze blew between the modern and imposing buildings, which housed various kinds of establishments, from laboratories, offices, libraries, and classrooms, to clothing stores, movies, supermarkets, and karaoke bars.
