"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."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL82VoziXmj

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3g7cTUBiu
"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."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43G4o1gkU3
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXFUVavdWr
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXGDqTikXf
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIckmfyf7h
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8AbqS8vHY

"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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhopEaIMmc3

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qzv3MEvNF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL6RwVbDOm
"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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQFaBiVIZB
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKfkQq9CFA
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmoPW4k4H0
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5kKFFggVa
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldrsi8sE54

"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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VgfienToe

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI9HKy9ZX6
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQgA9ll05v
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr8irJqHVl
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAHs5sPVw9
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqeP6CZjzL
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L0JuT3Tvm
"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?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PHrurhGFH
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOQfd4WX9n
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xEZVHbyGK
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDUxDmKd68
"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."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqlobupqiZ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI6ahNS22A
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCQ4w8XPRS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDQ8JRYo0K
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIq0DdvOn1
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYEw5TnAO2
"Thomas."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnGUrldIta

"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?32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYvE6YbdPI
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeefJB6VJ48
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMD7J6BmyC
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbhSEwzuVv
"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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0ZyhRm71P
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqO4llqDsU
"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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xKYCim0YW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsYk4aycx2
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTRHxX7XgH
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnuIpa7L6i
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JUXewXViB
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFUQ8qlBCX
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSyGOSVGZJ
"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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lQlw2CYtU
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnBqPAV924
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDKRvPsp3Q
"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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnVHXvbRFa
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi4ZA9qKmD
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ2KPPEFGc
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJHF0sRUS1
"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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNp5RVYuGI
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxmVH3EKZ5
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. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELLmbmvjJD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDINx51BGR
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxUHLS0lim
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczWfb03mZi
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..."
