PLACE · THE DIVIDE

The Valles geothermal plant supplies heat to Martian habitats and is Paul’s workplace.

Setting

The plant is a physical network of production loops, housings, valves and distribution routes. Anika, Venn and the other crews inspect and operate it. Its available energy and its ability to deliver that energy are different questions.

In the book

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