"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."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AKWBIKRBs

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFtCc59TMw
"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."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDegAfdd44
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBTVpx5iX
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPEGQeOWer
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTF6zUXRW
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTssBzMqvzR
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUupEnnHdMy
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxg6npTTun
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC91z135Zm

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxano4EAiHo
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfess92ca
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAlBV9kLV7
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqoNf9xxju
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox6Ttm3f5B
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEGIP44Lzq
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqcqCbjJEn
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV79CzQc7R
"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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dH6BUXIAv
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A8S0Xp2Uw
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k4qwGzOSs
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzOA1Genv2
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0XdjB2H4r
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7O52qZ8O9
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQnH2UKBZb
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15JcgkwBSX
"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?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCHIxWAmiP
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYUKtk44VZ
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSkf2lei8J
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNehA3cd7I
"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."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fQU30CCed
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH9YHoe2Q6
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkWt236hKG
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ngBtoUGH
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEv42xxPJp
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4eH2fwMX
"Thomas."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfcBBTG1tP
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmCCcGTGFk
"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?201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBQrLp8kdg
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEZIOOV4Gv
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnpfr7ilES
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF6WBFzavF
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tuhRTNUQ7
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29bmOB3XqV
"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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1frou7JqD
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHPby3F6rt
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f6Vq5KDMw
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlol6yoDUni
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGKA0AgotE
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbvqZSCfJw
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIJZz986m2
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIpIJbcaGJ
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPRuQK0SKW
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRmGrqnYzl
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Bgqvk2B6
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSxecqT9z8
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHCIcIAioR
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97INPhScOt
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4IK2tO016
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ9SrKeMi5
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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzliWlsygmn
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiolOgB25hx
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9AK9rqomV
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpEicRt9L
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..."
