"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."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq8zgKGOkf

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hcn5F9Kdj
"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."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡManWzBVpwT

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OsoWYl4sg
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKRYE5KBkf
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF7a0nVeUa
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgGHM4dwMJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNyMqvtn5Z
"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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3AkQSQ7ul

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieU9KmVRf
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULvaBBDlHA
"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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPngjOJUap
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK6RYsk5wM
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUFVxsjET9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXvEwy5IxF
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB34qRoDid
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVdXN2fySP
"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. 208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiCWzunubT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6JXsXn6Nl
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMFIkbWMA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcdmrYq96O
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXQ2UK9ORQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKY8USdbZF
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiTL6wwGm
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOVzDppGj
"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?"208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZbA15aX1S
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZVc9ywwqC
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2LN8t2TTv
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJuHpTFEMW
"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."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djxwSmzZP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZHr2kue9o
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjeQHUWM4K
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWhP6AX0gb
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MGDDUXymc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y1EmcAAf5
"Thomas."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vC7NYglbA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyhOWrWI5b
"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?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH738QidfR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadQz0NXVat
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMLCGErDMh
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdRNxHsmUP
"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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3lj9gGm0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFITE72RreU
"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. 208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1558QmZgHY
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kD2Vfna0V
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk0rtFensB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKFmwIVchp
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl4xGG5EtD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEBG0YBbIu
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsRv8m8Xxq
"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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYqYj4fGwl
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjAkUxyHxW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIuYZRExAB
"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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIozN16QK0n
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa1ALJl0N7
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7KBOpb2JK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfHAIDglce
"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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIiehPk661
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH2S3EKC8c
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. 208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnwIYVqWDr
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqD8NNbp6K
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3AiduTAE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgq55Lduz8
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..."
