Moon Page #2

Synopsis: Sam Bell has a three year contract to work for Lunar Industries. For the contract's entire duration, he is the sole employee based at their lunar station. His primary job responsibility is to harvest and periodically rocket back to Earth supplies of helium-3, the current clean and abundant fuel used on Earth. There is no direct communication link available between the lunar station and Earth, so his only direct real-time interaction is with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs. With such little human contact and all of it indirect, he feels that three years is far too long to be so isolated; he knows he is beginning to hallucinate as the end of his three years approaches. All he wants is to return to Earth to be with his wife Tess and their infant daughter Eve, who was born just prior to his leaving for this job. With two weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious. Injured, he awak

We can talk later.

Hello?

...good working order, but we only have

two working Harvesters now.

Come on, come on.

Yeah, well, thas no surprise,

but is not good enough.

Gerty, we're gonna

have to find a way to ramp up production

- on Mark and John.

- I know.

This is incredible. How do you manage

to f***ing break a Harvester

and an employee, all in the same day?

These were extraordinary

circumstances, as you know.

Gerty, whas the status on Harvester 3?

How are the repairs going ahead?

- Sam. You're out of bed.

- Yeah.

I wanted to stretch my legs. Who was that?

We've been having

some problems with the Lunar Sat,

and our live feed seems to be down.

I was recording

a video message for Central,

updating them on your progress.

Sam, you need to stay in bed.

You're not ready to walk around yet.

All right.

Could you give me

my sunglasses? Is really bright in here.

Give me my...

Give me all my stuff, you know.

Your belongings are in your quarters, Sam.

- Well, bring it in here.

- Certainly.

Excellent, Sam.

What...

When can I get out of here, Gerty?

Sam, you may have

suffered from brain damage in the crash.

This would explain your slight memory loss

and logic impairment.

So, whas the diagnosis?

When can I get back to work?

Central has asked me to

slow down the Harvesters

to ensure you have time

to recuperate and get your strength back.

Thas terrific. Is fantastic.

You can return to

the sleeping quarters tomorrow,

but it will still be a few more days

before you can resume

anything like a normal work schedule.

- Les try another test.

- I don't want to try another test.

Please, Sam.

Hey, Gerty.

You know about this?

Matthew's got

no velocity readout. He's completely still.

He must have stalled.

Well, he's obviously stalled.

Don't you think

we should tell Central?

Unlock the doors and I'll go fix it.

I'll pass on your message.

Message received

from Earth via Jupiter link.

Sam, we appreciate the offer,

but you concentrate on feeling better.

Hey, we don't want you to take

any unnecessary risks.

- You're too important to us.

- You're to stay put.

That is an order.

Is an order, Sam. From Lunar.

And what we're

going to do is send a rescue unit

to tend to the stalled Harvester

and get the base back on its feet.

What the f*** is...

What the f***...

- I'm sorry, Sam.

- What?

Sam, I'm under strict orders

not to let you outside.

I don't appreciate that.

Being treated like a child.

I don't appreciate it.

Gerty!

Gerty! Gerty, come here!

What happened?

I don't know. Meteorites.

There have been

no meteorites, Sam.

Micro-meteorites maybe, I don't know.

Either way,

there might be damage to the exterior shell.
