"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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S2UzaDjZ7

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafTKj4xL3Q
"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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycWQ7jj4dq

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3hK521xpF
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq5PbGqIB4
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3q7sp2dHJ

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADgLpGHNh8
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI58mfmUj9Y

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysrjXH7zL2
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33INmrXUfm
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmeIbc2L2S
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y7bP7YIbF
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnoOHXOX8S
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZrLc2h7YY
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs3efFFzbI
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAdYQdGIsV
"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. 204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqDT9Yyqko
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxViwqXkQt
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALRciOKGKc
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWBp8Ajswa
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1LIIJUfIw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPOSHUOjPu
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rn4SWv64T
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ZIkL3r5v
"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?"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1fy8b3v7V
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98mDIBCks
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC7WooMF8h
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfZDqPLF2D
"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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMVVNfXltE
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkX0LxmTHw
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh8CajK2hL
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UXZKbmssR
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeO9HOBuL8
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrd5UbLWrM
"Thomas."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SuqPbMJrk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9KndvpRka
"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?204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm9yleWjkv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2J7VDS4ta
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HRtJt8mu2
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtciRUSLe6
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImze6Hzztq
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaKsrn5Dop
"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. 204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zrlsafPD
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Y3eqDD5O
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DNApUJS9t
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBdw1cp1eN
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGMGDusXvF
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzKFHvmCWW
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRQ67kxQVs
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv98aFLvdlC
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1n065Xsnx
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xuq7JBCau
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0uxraJc3i
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNWPga6M9V
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU80dEx0Vm
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp5wSaR7Sm
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOAeiQF8i
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXJIKG4JB
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. 204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IknE9F3o0
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7d014iAll
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwE7fIVN4C
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw2bR1eAxu
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..."
