first immediate thought: Arsia is a terrible name for a city and Olympus Mons is only called Olympus Mons because it’s a mountain and not because Mons should be a martian naming convention.
I was sort of hoping someone else would point this out, but for the record—there’s no city named Arsia Mons. The story says there were seven original settlements formed in the caves of Arsia Mons, and eventually they were all linked. But each of the seven cities still has its original name. They’re just not all given in the first five pages.

I didn’t make it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsia_Mons
On finishing I guess it’s in a mountain but I stand by being put off by a city named ass mountain
