Olympus Prime

PLACE · THE DIVIDE

Olympus Prime is one of the three habitats served by the Valles geothermal plant.

Setting

Its agricultural extension adds demand to the heat network. Homes, growing spaces and the people who manage them make the consequences of a supply problem immediate. Caitlyn’s botanical work connects growing conditions to household life.

In the book

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