"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2PKj9QrXQ

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPB508fq3j
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSTUPIzui

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuILM0nXFn
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RrSn0t1TB
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPCBU8HcnE
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRJjvhQIEo
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2AS5NAY4A
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2D13OsFZK

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0xjbha3jz
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeIGwjsvtv
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7FuM9XCH4
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaQsVeG0qd
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UGGbbs4vO
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmQD142bCQ
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Hws3vXLA
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH9XTP0u5R
"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. 217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSikaCeF88

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU40XpoI46w
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpfFVOfuFd
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxu9Os65ra
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxmw5r9PbW
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt5PQRfqHP
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOiZNOsr29
"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?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4St4iCyXvy
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPvgFxuduI
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDFB0orVMy
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkuCU6WmXh
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWtrM84otF
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgXa8iUvPz
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakRVGwz0xh
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYiVvXrqwU
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf0JL2f4Rj
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauSD0in2q8
"Thomas."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqPfg54Pg4
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g11mX1QHY
"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?217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18yRxhCflC
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUJI1S5eao
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kYu8gBHLW
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCIle5eiNx
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NS9T0l6IR
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqwinrgKnS
"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. 217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2bPSzWcFA
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eg03arWqG
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRJH6xGamv
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k4yglzqhO
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PM8j5biq
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KzryY9ZNv
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BFmCHqia7
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZszBYWYh1
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVT6PQ1ih7
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcdXmcHosk
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5MIxVv51a
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Fhb0nEUd
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ6mrsV3Wr
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaIAL5ilJs
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Hj0genqe
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjphaUFpoGd
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. 217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXcwF0kx5g
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lwmqk6aSI
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzozWWS29HG
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYZgNW4sjM
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..."
