Lens Towers

The three Lens Towers located at the north pole of Mars are, together with the Pumping Station, an integral part of the martian water system. The three lenses are used to melt the ice of the polar cap and fill the channels of the planet with water.

By the time of Martian Dreams, the towers had fallen into disrepair. The first had a defective motor and the Avatar had to ask Thomas Edison in Olympus to repair it. The second was overgrown with weeds and had to be freed with weedkillers. The third had a broken lens, that needed to be repaired by Louis Comfort Tiffany in Elysium.

With all these conditions fulfilled, using the towers finally enabled the Avatar to have a water source and free the way to the North Pole Lab, which before had been buried beneath the ice.
