Editing Renticuluous Alpha

<div class="ev-article-kicker">PLACE · THE DIVIDE</div>
Renticuluous Alpha is a Martian habitat connected to the [[Valles geothermal plant|Valles heat network]].

== Setting ==
Its circulation is constrained by the Bottleneck. Warmth reaching a central point does not necessarily reach the rooms at the far end of the network. Chief Lorn represents its concerns.

== In the book ==
The opening chapters establish the Valles network; Chapter 5 introduces the habitat representatives.

== Reading the network from its far end ==
Renticuluous Alpha helps distinguish a system total from a local experience. Energy available elsewhere in the network is not the same thing as warmth delivered to a particular room.

Its representative’s concerns sit beside those of [[Olympus Prime]] and [[Volallies Beta]]. Reading the three habitat entries together introduces the competing demands around Paul’s work without describing his response to them.
