The transporter has a failsafe to replace missing atoms or molecules that didn’t make the trip by pulling from reserves. It got a lock, attempted transport, then got an error saying 7x10^27 atoms didn’t make it and replaced them, leaving the original Riker on the planet and constructing an entirely new Riker on the Potemkin’s transporter pad. Thomas is the original, Will is the clone.

PC LOAD MATTER? What the hell does that even mean?!
Anyone got a spare matter cartridge?
There’s not an ounce of Cyan in Riker’s body, but this thing still refuses to materialize without a new cartridge!
Excuse you?
They’re both clones, as is the fate of anyone who uses a Star Trek transporter.
Found Bones.
Bones died that day. I’m just what you remember of him.
