Zero Point One: The Twelfth Night of Christmas: Mason Granger, #1.1

By Charlie Cox

Mason Granger, recently undead and somewhat of a reformed character, wants to do a mate a favour. However, when said mate is the tactical head of the Military Intelligence Undead branch, and you've got a biological AI running about in your body, then no favour ever goes to entirely to plan. This year, Christmas arrives Mason Granger style.

 

(This free short story comes after the events of Zero point One.)
