After all, everyone strives for perfection. So Captain Price decided that he should move on after he got rid of Shepard. There was only one solution — to create your own PMCs.

The guests gathered in the banquet hall were clinking forks on white earthenware plates of noble olive color, conversations were buzzing around and happy faces shone. Today was a wonderful celebration — a wedding that created a new family, a family named "Price".

The man was sitting a little tensely, listening to another toast-congratulations from some relative on the bride's side. John was absolutely sure that it made no sense for him to remember their names and faces, because the circumstances of the creation of this marriage were a little... businesslike. Unfortunately, to create and maintain your own PMCs, you need not only to have a team and a goal, you also need to have the means. And quite a lot.

The bride's family offered a good deal, an old friend of Price's, the general, was ready to help both financially and with connections, but in return... the young general's daughter needed a husband. Price didn't even know the reason why such a girl needed to get married so early in the first place, especially for him. But Price was sure she was just the moody daughter of rich parents.
