"Hold on, stop shoutin', I'm comin." Thomas said, carrying around a large and heavy toolbox that if he were to throw around would probably take 'em with it. Thomas was the general technician of the rig. He was sent all sorts of ways just to fix stuff because most other people were nearly completely incompetent.

"Ah shut your gob Thomas and do your damn job." He said before he grabbed a cigarette and leaned on the side rail. "Why the hell are you here mate? All I hear you do is whine."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVszv2tZqc

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.

"Rich coming from you of all people." Thomas said as he walked away. "I gotta go up the leg, I got a message over the radio."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zrFZsEg06
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbSOHVXUiL
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ygyacXZ4
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4XZJSKPae
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoO8yeMIIm

"What else is fuckin' new." Thomas said before he made is trek up the ridiculously long steps of the leg. The leg of an oil rig is essentially support beams that stretch to the ocean floor. Of course the interior of the leg doesn't reach all the way to the floor, but it goes down a fair distance.
Thomas was unfortunately needed in the Operations Room. "For god... Sake..." Thomas said, as he swung open the door to the Operations Room after his ridiculously long trek.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TrFgc5GD8

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TZn3TGYRt
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQQwsNt88m
"Come on man, tell me the issue before I fill your brain with shot." Thomas said as he lugged his toolbox onto a small table in the corner of the room.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTKV8GHXQD
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4AysDhGVh
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDKtbM9MXe
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJX1yQXcOV
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0S55dfgq1

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't be laughin'. But that is really all we have mate. It is not workin', and we have absolutely zero idea why, other mechanics are down tryna figure out the issue." So this is what Calum meant by "extra pissy." Because some emu cunt decided to hit and run our drill. 33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHPt1EtLOv

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIvEYRUffo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg2NsEVG0D
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktelywzXJb
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T9DaDflko
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlGsW2tAO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OG7oamZy3
"There's already so many people down with the drill trying to figure out what sent it out into a lazy frenzy, we were curious if you could see if there was some issue below?"33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4MmeCvfS2
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2eURVr3na
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2HKXwR8wB
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNz1CQ5bzN
"The drill is programmed to stop if it encounters an excessively strong material, so while we believe it to be a hit and run by a former employee, we were curious if you could go down the dive bell and check out the dig site."
Sigh.
"It'll be alright kid." The old man said. "I am the man of the dive bell, you'll be 'ight."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8f5QmShFJ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfH2RfqFvw
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfF6UgrjaO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGII2FE4KiY
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBHKXFSCjP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwxPrT9JNH
"Thomas."33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae8lof7okB

"Right, Thomas, I need you to trust me on this, I got you. I've been workin' here for years, you're in good hands." William said. That isn't necessarily a pro considering your age.
Now slowly descending in the dive bell, Thomas sat for a minute, just gently breathing to himself. It wasn't his first time in a dive bell, yet his anxiety was spiking. He didn't know what it was, but something was making him panic.
Once he reached the bottom, he opened the hatch and quickly swam out to check the dive site. He swam quickly, as he wanted to get out of there as fast as humanly possible. It's programmed to stop if it hits too hard of a metal right? What is too hard for a fuckin' drilll?33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhXFZtj9S9
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5vTR21R5c
Of course, Thomas couldn't necessarily see all the way to the bottom of the location the drill was digging, so he had to see if he could see any materials or objects from afar causing the issue. Before he enter'd the divebell, he grabbed a torch to illuminate the bottom as much as possible to see if he could even see a fraction of a possible problem.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZeaL63iP5
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxNWZ3gG2Z
"Alright... Let's see what's down here." He said as he shook the torch to turn it on. However, he felt his entire body freeze as he stared down the meant to be gaping deep whole.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsJitACRaE
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0aAzt1zbI
"Is that... Man made metal? The drill has dug fartha' than this right?!" Just around 150 or so meters down, he saw a far away metal structure, with what seemed to be a glass window on the top. 33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OnwsjhBTr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2C5YBZ4rw
Just then, from afar, he saw a shadow banging on the glass window that somehow rang in his ears despite being many meters away. Without skipping a beat, he swam as fast as he could away until the rupturing banging sound in his ear finally ceased.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9bTYXzSw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc1XSPCAdo
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg55Iu5z1j
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi8ht1VHLJ
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQOlNQcmL8
"I am seeing things. I have ta' be- Oh what the fuck am I kiddin', you don't just see that shit!" Thomas said before standing up and rapidly pulling on the rope. Thomas continued to rapidly tug on the rope, to get not a response. The dive bell stayed completely stationary, and he received zero response back on the rope.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBwgaFmUK8
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigUXACJXQh
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RrGIftczz
"I SAID PULL ME UP TWAT!" He shouted, despite knowing not a single soul could hear his constant shouting near 200 meters down. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that rusty old geezer to actually have is head screwed on right. He said, now sitting down, trying to calm down while still constantly tugging on the rope.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauXWtFibqP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFUBNHKE8Y
Just then, he felt a slight shake in the dive bell that quickly turned into a violent shaking, knocking him around all which way, giving him a deep gash in his hand as his hand quickly was pulled off the rope, causing very bloody rope burn.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwhXNQoF53
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpmvk8c71V
"What the fuck is going on up there?" He said in a somewhat quiet but shaky and concerned tone. Once the shaking came to a short halt, he felt the dive bell slowly ascend as his dive bell continued to shake violently, tossing him around every which way. "Holy shit!" He said before his head bashed into the side of the dive bell, knocking him unconscious.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Dq5MNIiF
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0poJGovvw
Once his eyes opened, the dive bell had stopped shaking, but it felt unstable. Every time he made even the smallest movement, he heard an eerie creak coming from outside. He calmly stood up before he felt his oxygen slowly seep from his throat. His lungs felt empty, his throat closed, and his legs and arms immediately gave up before he fell to the floor once again. Shortly after, he felt air entering his body again, and felt his muscles and blood properly running through his body before his muscles and lungs gained control again. 33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjskiewGSDM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPppZ7jqgPO
He stood up one more time before he opened the hatch to the dive bell, still hearing the eerie creaking, and as he stepped outside to an unfamiliar, almost rustic and decrepit metal platform, he looked up once more and saw an absolutely horrifying sight.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi8cWkzNRx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoDWkUbQaZ
The sight of his once bright, (of course, a bit of an exaggeration,) oil rig, now rusty and falling apart that looked like as if hell itself had come from the shadows and aged the thing five-hundred or so years, probably even more.
"What... The fuck..."
