Palisade Property Bank

Palisade Property Bank is the Prague headquarters of Palisade Bank Corporation. It is located in northwest Prague, in the Čistá district. The building, as well as the Palisade Blades seen around the city, hold the secure information of Palisade's clients. It promises its customers that their information is completely secure in this facility, as it is apparently virtually impossible to break in to. The building is guarded by Tarvos Security Services.

Background
The Palisade Property Bank was completed in 2024. Palisade chose to open its doors in Prague since the Czech Republic had introduced laws which protected the privacy of corporations. This means that the information stored in Palisade is free from government oversight.

Corporations and wealthy individuals pay to have their secrets stored here. This includes digital information on servers, or physical objects in the executive safes and corporate vaults.

Overview
Palisade is a vast building that extends high above ground as well as below it. Security is of primary concern at Palisade, so only certain portions of the building can be accessed by the public. Parts of levels 1 and 2 are restricted, as well as the entirety of level 3. The corporate vaults which are deep underground can only be visited by those with a valid keycard for one of the vaults.

In front of the building, there is a parking garage for employees. This area is also restricted.

Level 1
Level 1 is located directly under the ground floor. It is home to the Executive Safes A and B. There is also a security room and Executive Services room on this floor. This area can be accessed from Level 2 simply by going down the stairs, or alternatively there is a route from the sewers which leads to Executive Safes A. From the basement of the nearby Ludvik's Lounge, or through a door in Palisade's parking garage, there is a ladder which leads down to the sewers. It is recommended to have Remote Hacking if you wish to enter the building from this way. Remote hack to get rid of the toxic gas that fills the room, and climb onto the ledge on the far right hand corner. There is a weak wall in front of a dead body that can be punched through and leads to a server room inside the Executive Safes area. Executive Safes A and B are almost mirror images of each other. The safes have a number of security features that protect the contents of them. The easiest way to get into the safes is with the keycards, both of which can be found in hidden safes in two different offices. Keycard A is located in the Executive Services office, also on level 1. Press a button under the desk to reveal the safe, and use the code 6477 to open it. Keycard B is in the Account Managers office upstairs. This safe can also be revealed by pressing a button under the desk. By using the keycards on the respective doors, not only will it allow you entry into the room, but it also automatically shuts down all security features and raises the safes from within the ground.

If you do not have the keycards for the main doors, you will have to circumvent its security features. Lasers scan in between the safes while a security camera and turret search the room for intruders. The lasers can be deactivated via a keypad in one of the server rooms. Just below the turret, there is a wall that hides the entrance to an office behind it. A small block protrudes from this wall, and pressing it opens the office's door. In this office, there is a security computer and a safe. The code to open the safe in Executive Safes A is 1114 and for B is 1110. The computer in Safes B can be unlocked with the password AKLVD6681. The security computers in both offices allow you to turn off the camera and turret, and to open or close the main door. It is also the only way that you can extend the lockers that hold the safes from the ground without the keycards. The majority of the safes are unlocked and empty, but all of the locked ones hold items of value. These include Neuropozyne vials, credit chips, and praxis kits. The safes can be hacked or opened with the keycode if you have acquired it previously.

A security computer in level 1's security room allows you to open the doors to Safes A and B, and a vent in this room leads into Executive Safes B. In the Executive Services room, there is an elevator keycard that gives access to level 3, the restricted floor. The door to this room is unlockable with the code 9593.

Level 2
This is the ground floor, and most of it is taken up by the lobby. A receptionist faces you when you enter the main doors, who will give you information about the bank. There are offices around the sides of this area, most of which are off-limits to visitors. These include the Account Manager and Security Supervisor offices, as well a security office and boardroom. The lobby has stairways or elevators to all other sections of the building. Some of these routes are blocked by security, however.

Level 3
Level 3 contains offices and rooms used solely by Palisade employees, and visitors are not permitted to visit them. Rooms include IT services, an Executive boardroom, employee lounge, and monitoring center. The office of Ashani Talwar (CEO) and Masaaki Oshiro (CTO) are also on this level.

There is a hidden room accessible from the CEO and CTO's shared office. In it, is a mechanical puzzle made of blocks in between the two desks. The puzzle needs to be solved to open the secret area. To do this, perform the following actions: raise, turn, raise, turn, turn, raise.

Corporate vaults
The corporate vaults are located six floors below level 1, and can be accessed two ways. One is via the elevator at the far end of the lobby area (level 2). The other is through a ventilation shaft connected to fans in the underground car park. The only way to get the elevator down is during the main mission The Heist, but the other entrance can be used at any time. In the parking garage, there are a number of fans covered with a grating. A rectangular section of this grating can be opened on the far left fan. Behind it is a rotating fan that needs to be remote hacked, or destroyed with explosives. On the other side of the fan is a door leading to the vaults.

These vaults are used by companies such as VersaLife, Tai Yong Medical, and the Picus Group to hold corporate secrets. Tarvos Security Services also occupies a vault alongside the TYM and Picus vaults. The TYM, Picus and Tarvos vaults are held underground, and can be accessed through the Palisade Bank Parking Garage. However, they can only be opened if you have the corresponding vault keycard.

Vaults and keycards
Four of the vaults stored in this area can be broken into:
 * 1) VersaLife: To open the VersaLife vault, you need to get the keycard during The Heist. This vault is the only one directly related to a main mission. Inside it, there are a number of items to loot including painkillers, hypostims, and biocells. There is also the eBook AJ09-0921 Patient X, and a pocket secretary with the password to the computer terminal. This password is 5896klmo1bn. A level 1 safe contains five Neuropozyne vials and the story item Orchid Neutralizing Enzyme. Various images are displayed in the vault including ones of the space station Heaven, Rifleman Bank Station and what is likely the destroyed White Helix Labs.
 * 2) Picus Group: The keycard for this vault can be found in apartment 94 in the Libuse Apartments. Interacting with a camera in the bedroom reveals a safe with the keycard in it. The Picus vault stores various hacking software which can be taken, as well as a computer terminal. The password for it is n3wsm4ker. A safe contains three multi-tools and several credit chips. There are "blueprints" for different designs of Eliza Cassan, an artificial intelligence owned by the company. Images of work-in-progress "news" stories are displayed inside the vault, with notes indicating what aspects of the images need to be altered before they can be used for news.
 * 3) Tarvos Security Services: The keycard is locked in a safe in the basement of Sobchak Security. Inside the vault, you can find Côte D'Azur, a unique variant of the combat rifle as well as ammunition for it. It also stores other ammo types, a laser sight and a silencer. Like the other vaults, it contains a computer and a safe. The code for the computer is lkmn01259knml. It also features armor of Belltower Associates troops, indicating that Tarvos is merely a rebranding of the PMC. Wanted posters appear on a screen for Garvin Quinn and Janus - two of the people responsible for making the Rifleman Bank Station scandal public.
 * 4) Tai Yong Medical: TYM's keycard can only be acquired during the side mission, The Mystery Augs. It is located on the body of Vadim Orlov. Inside the vault, you can find ammunition for the TESLA, Typhoon Explosive System, and Nanoblade. A praxis kit and three Neuropozyne vials are inside the safe. There is also a computer with the password gbnm45klp53. Other items of interest include a Hyron drone suit, and schematics for one of Orlov's experimental augmentations, the Nanoblade.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
During Deus Ex: Mankind Divided there are two optional missions that require you to visit the Palisade Property Bank. The first is the side mission Samizdat, and the other is the main mission The Heist, which can be avoided if you chose to do Confronting the Bomb-Maker instead. This location is also relevant to the Point of Interest, Rich Man, Poor Aug.

VersaLife, who are using one of the corporate vaults to store items and information, decide to remove the entire contents of their vault and relocate it elsewhere. Account Manager, Thomas Romanek, tries to persuade VersaLife to continue to use the banks services, but fails to convince them. The Juggernaut Collective uncover that the vault contains information on the bioweapon known as the Orchid. They want their member Adam Jensen to break into Palisade and extract the information from the vault. Jensen has to choose between doing this and following a lead on Allison Staněk.

If Jensen visits the vault, Janus begins to sift through the information stored in it and finds any files that mention the Orchid. One of these is an audio file, and Jensen plays it. The recording is of a conversation between Bob Page, the CEO of VersaLife, and Megan Reed, a researcher for the company. Reed reveals that she is working on the Orchid project and has created a cure for its harmful effects, the neutralizing enzyme stored in the vault's safe.
