**Mike Bishop** is a CIA agent undercover as a NASA team leader at Happy Valley in 2003.

## History

### Season 4

Mike was at a team meeting after the incident between Svetlana Zakharova and Vasily Galkin had happened.

He was later part of the team that tried to restart the fuel plant generators that had been blocked by Helios workers. Arguing in vain against bypassing the primary gas regulator.

After Happy Valley commander Danielle Poole discovers major theft taking place on the base, namely communication equipment that could only be used to communicate with a spacecraft. Roscosmos director Irina Morozova in conjunction with NASA administrator Eli Hobson authorise the use of CIA and KGB assets on the base.

Danielle is surprised to find that these assets are Helios worker Timur Avilov and Mike. Mike says that if she had suspected him he wouldn't be good at his job. She remarks that Avilov had been vocal during the strike, but he dismisses it by stating that an operative must move amongst the people like fish in the sea. She gives them Miles name, which Avilov knows as the head of the blackmarket on the base.

Mike and Avilov trap Miles and interrogate him about the theft, Miles insists he knows nothing and only sells things to make people feel better, but after Mike gets upset, bringing up the death of Nick Jennings, Avilov punches Miles, starting a small fight before the two agents hold him down.

After hours of interrogation, Miles refused to give up names. Bishop and Avilov put on respirators and resort to Carbon Dioxide poisoning, causing Dale to experience dizziness and nausea but still refused to break and begged to see his family. Mike later updated Danielle on their progress with Miles, believing they should be close to getting answers. Mike later Miles' family as a weakness, threatning to have his wife prosecuted as an accessory to his black market dealings, leading Miles to finally break and reveal the location of Ghost Ops. After Mike and other M-7 authorities investigated Ghost Ops, but only found Gerardo Ortiz-Niño. Mike aggressively threw Gerardo against the wall, but was ordered by Danielle to settle down.

After believing the rest of Ghost Ops were hiding in the North Korean module, Bishop awaited orders to break into the module. After Ghost Ops were succesful in hijacking Goldilocks for Mars orbit, Bishop received approval. As his team made their move, Danielle ordered his team to stand down, but told her his orders from the Department of Defence which superseded her orders. Bishop's team sets explosives off the doors of the module, which was held off by North Korean ujunauts. As his team tried to push forward, they were greeted by a mob of Helios workers. Bishop was hit with a pipe by Miles twice as a riot ensued. After Nate Lowry accidentally shoots Danielle, the riot ceased. Shortly after, all involved watched in silence as Danielle was being treated.

His abuse to Miles and Gerardo was later leaeked to the press by an unnamed government contractor.
