Mason

I found out from Phillip that he and Seth had taken over handling the funerals for my dead pack members. I also found out that Elder Jason, Councilman Jason now, asked him to keep Typhon’s body so our doctors could run tests and experiments on his blood and tissue. While I hate the idea of that monster’s body even being in my pack lands, I know that we need the data. There is so little of it, that the more we can get, the better.
