Bureau of Rational Answers and Scientific Solutions



The Bureau of Rational Answers and Scientific Solutions (BRASS) is a bipartisan organization of scientific investigators from a wide variety of backgrounds dedicated to providing simple, logical, scientific explanations to the various so-called "supernatural" occurances happening in Laurel Crossing.

History
BRASS was started by "Chains" Stark to help provide the citizens of Laurel Crossing with certainty in uncertain times. When a "paranormal" or "supernatural" happening occurs, you can count on seeing this dedicated team to be there conducting a thorough investigation and providing anwers. Their response rate is so rapid, some people even say BRASS gets there before the events happen! The fine folks of Laurel Crossing sure are a witty bunch. BRASS also provides complimentary transportation service to the Kondale Mental Correction Facility to those individuals who may be experiencing hallucinations or irrational belifes brought on by a scientifically-explainable crisis.

Scentific Solutions
The reulsts of BRASS's investigations are always published in the local section of the Laurel Crossing Gazette, the town's local paper. Here are some of the logical explanations provided by the Bureau to recent and popular occurances

Another One Bites the Dust Incident

 * BRASS place the blame on a group of Engineering majors from the local university whose attempts at starting a pirate radio station accidentally hijacked the entire spectrum of local radio wavess

Ackerman Asylum's "Heathen Beings"

 * The various laughs and cries heard from this abandoned building can all be attributed to wind blowing through the buildings decrepit piping structure.

Assemblyman Walter Redding s Final Moments

 * BRASS claims that Redding's orange skin tone was the result of an all-carrot diet meant to lower his cholesterol. BRASS also claims that an allergic reaction to a pesticide used on the inorganic carrots made the assemblyman's tongue swell, resulting in his voice sounding "demonic." The allergic reaction also resulted in hallucinations and violent spasms. Remember to buy local folks!

The Six Sinkholes

 * BRASS discovered that Laurel Crossing was built over a previously undocumented fault line, whose natural friction fluctuations cause disturbances in the infrasturcture of the town's architecture. The fact that this fault line is not recognized by US Geological Survey continues to shock BRASS, who only want what's best for Laurel Crossing.
