"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."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLywncPxVce

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAYeEljzW
"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."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJaK4MlqIu
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYExnZneK04
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbPMPpNzM
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pwXVGntnF
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QiCXCyFVY
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXNJqr43TA
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSitpCRgddz
"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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMASMNxgRay

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT91m3ed9r
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGXLuSg0GN
"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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYEVoj2MKB
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINsF5jk3WK
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHb8hVnCCM
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ovNBDwMY7
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2SoNaqDH
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZmwfQFuJf
"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. 214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAnAdBcOJa

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78SPi5o2U4
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRSZ7V58HV
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF1ass2I2Y
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CME7G8uvl
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEihmHW2lw
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE40kTyXEk
"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?"214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw0IIsCPda
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhKPpXr3hN
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSWQYQkVud
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu9I8qlrKM
"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."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHVmF9D7ET
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmAaBNFeBc
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWonZ5hmpw
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXb6dMnTMk
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmhCq5fiMh
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxYDH35lPK
"Thomas."214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS2ynDFzJX
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5SYhDtXs
"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?214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9wUgTGvtP
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgITaBQolq
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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hn8xug2D
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4rREbkM1L
"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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZJG0AWG3
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFYgEsQVZ
"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. 214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNzygKkvxP
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kkx8hNzTs
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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM3NIYgTGV
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTFz1wCmAL
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJnnvX982Q
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVvB83zXRy
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHelc1JaCm2
"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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdk7pZidGS
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeRvR2xmjj
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E2poPFs3i
"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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFlEMvnV2a
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMYaOcmUr
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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78zH84Tytf
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlEs3vn0qK
"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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIjcyDuUMO
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gg3RXkA1Q
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. 214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsEAwEUYoj
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmcVNIrTlW
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.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHqwcXSmsc
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4noXWOLsY2
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..."
