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 two
weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the
mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious. After his
recuperation, he takes an unauthorized trip back to the
broken harvester, where he makes an unexpected discovery.
