Moon Page #3

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

I think you'd better... You'd better let me

go outside and take a look.

There is no damage

to the exterior shell.

Well, is not that

I don't believe you, Gerty,

but I mean, you know,

this thing is springing leaks

like an Acme fire hose.

You need to let me

go outside and fix this problem, Gerty.

I can't let you go outside, Sam.

Gerty, if you don't

let me go outside, we can't fix this leak.

I'm not permitted

to let you go outside.

Just let... We'll keep it between

you and me. Okay, pal?

This thing

is springing gas, les go. Come on.

Just to check the exterior shell.

- Yeah, of course.

- Okay, Sam.

Thank you.

Gerty.

Searching for long-range comms.

Signal failure

on long-range comms.

Gerty! Gerty!

I found him outside.

By the stalled Harvester.

Who is he? Who is he?

We need to get him to the Infirmary.

You tell...

You tell me who that is.

You tell me who that is!

Sam Bell.

We need to get him

to the Infirmary immediately.

Hello, Sam.

How are you feeling?

Where... Where am I?

The Infirmary.

You had an accident out

by one of the Harvesters.

- Do you remember?

- I'm...

I'm thirsty.

I could get you some water.

I saw someone out there, Gerty.

I saw someone out there.

Sam, you suffered

a slight concussion in the crash

and have incurred

minor injuries.

But all in all,

the prognosis is good.

I'm happy to see you again.

- Gerty.

- Yes, Sam.

Is there someone in the room with us?

Sam, get some sleep.

You're very tired.

Spoke to Thompson today. Now that

you're up there, he's promising the world.

I think it was the right thing.

But...

Is just such a long time.

But I suppose there are things...

You know, that needed to happen.

I... I need time to think.

Listen, Sam,

be safe, and I'll talk to you soon.

Bye.

Gerty...

Gerty, what the... What...

What the hell's going on?

Who's the guy...

Who's the guy in the Rec Room?

Where did he come from?

Why does he look like me?

Sam, you're out of bed.

Yeah, Gerty, I'm out of bed.

Who's the guy...

Who's the guy in the Rec Room?

Sam Bell.

Come on, come on, come on.

You are Sam Bell.

Sam, what is it?

It might help to talk about it.

Gerty, I don't understand

whas happening.

I'm losing my mind.

We could run some tests.

I haven't let Sam contact Lunar.

They don't know you were recovered alive

from the accident...

Recovered alive?

What do you mean... What are you talk...

Why didn't you report it

to Central? What are you talking about?

I'm here to keep you safe, Sam.

Are you hungry?

Two weeks, two weeks, two weeks...

Two weeks, two weeks, two weeks, two

weeks, two weeks, two weeks...

Just getting my slippers.
