The mythical school of Lake Braddock Secondary is located somewhere in the offskirts of Burke, Virginia {?} and sits behind a newly constructed bypass. The community having small roads to travel on decided that traffic could be easily avoided if a new bypass were put up, rather than fix up the existing roads they went on a wild spree to cut down trees, move houses, tear through a mall, and rip out the front yard of the local high school... bureaucrats! Lake Braddock, even though located in the middle of nowhere, contains on average each year some 5,000 students. With this many students, one extra adventurer won't be too much of a disturbance.
