GERTY helps the older Sam access the recorded logs of past Sam clones, showing them all falling ill as their contract expires. The two Sams search the area, finding a communications substation beyond the facility's perimeter which has been interfering with the live feed from Earth. GERTY confirms his memories of his wife and daughter are implanted. GERTY activated the newest clone after the rover crash and convinced him that he was at the beginning of his three-year contract. After a heated argument and physical altercation, GERTY reveals that they are both clones of the original Sam Bell.

The two Sams start to wonder if one is a clone of the other. He brings the double back to the base and tends to his injuries. He travels to the crashed rover, where he finds his unconscious doppelganger. Suspicious, Sam manufactures a fake problem to persuade GERTY to let him outside. Lunar Industries then orders Sam to remain on base and informs him that a rescue team will arrive to repair the harvester. He overhears GERTY having what appears to be a live chat with Lunar Industries management. Sam awakes in the base infirmary with no memory of the accident. Rapidly losing cabin air from the crash, Sam falls unconscious. One such image distracts him while he is out recovering a helium-3 canister from a harvester, causing him to crash his lunar rover into the harvester. Two weeks before his return to Earth, Sam begins to suffer from hallucinations of a teenage girl and a bearded, disheveled man. His only companion is an artificial intelligence named GERTY, who assists with the base's automation and provides comfort for him. Chronic communication problems have disabled his live feed from Earth and limit him to occasional recorded messages from his wife Tess, who was pregnant with their daughter Eve when he left. Samuel Bell nears the end of his three-year work contract at Sarang Station. The facility is highly automated, requiring only a single human to maintain operations, oversee harvester machines, and launch canisters bound for Earth containing the extracted helium-3. In the near future, Lunar Industries has made a fortune after an oil crisis by building Sarang Station, a facility on the far side of the Moon to mine the alternative fuel helium-3 from lunar soil, which is rich in the material.
