The Paint Shop serves as the BIS' base of operations on Palisade. In the year 1429 PM, Riah Connadine, the local BIS leader, announces Adagio in G, the Bilateral Intercession's grand plan for Palisade, from the Paint Shop.[1]
The Adagio proceeds according to plan until the galaxy's stellar combustors are all taken offline permanently by members of the Blue Channel. When this happens, the BIS loses much of its power on Palisade and Stel Kesh puts the Paint Shop is put under lockdown.[3] Not long thereafter, Connadine betrays the Paint Shop: he makes a deal granting the Divine, Arbitrage access to the Paint Shop's brainwashing room,[4] and leaks key intel about the Paint Shop to Millennium Break.[5]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- John le Carré’s Circus was a big inspiration for the Paint Shop.[6]
