"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."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6NFxIsfMk

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAK990T1gG
"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."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaDEySeNVf

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLBZMNxOPM
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwFWnHvmaY
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhR401lu66
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhfiVhFZaA
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Fv7sGDca
"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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZyVuzi27B

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5bZg1k0QU
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNWSSrBAQi
"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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaA0AbSY3A
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00EIm0mAqi
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJd9iqbNGg
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1lLK7MrK9
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihoUDZcjpJ
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDvsvm5UKu
"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. 202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZBQQW7ay
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl6Z1YEgrs
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQvK1bHJk
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjLzB1JZcw
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFxyGyHXr7
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZOsgKsoaG
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmd6Ndq0wM
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUYAB0JfmV
"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?"202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ivou8ok9c
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnulxjxgVt
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3He6I57Uuj
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUThI474HAE
"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."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnyXuQoEBa
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtMQoNLqwA
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTFJQxCSQY
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N6eOrFQ5Y
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOoJF5tZ5P
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI1mqF5aUS
"Thomas."202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0WzyzQ7ms
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LXflrHCs
"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?202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qkAha0hBZ
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3QDx8Hcj
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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8IzMR7nC7
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Pu4ytrMR
"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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23vp1EVPAx
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53u3T6Hp2z
"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. 202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wpj0ZSXtb
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDKBTWqnvc
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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWjRw9W4Xn
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgRyo3pjcC
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwl99QDLSw
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGDCtFEOYZ
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMahjMRFcEP
"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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcoy8jKOfG
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R4xd3agau
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GUX4wnBve
"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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV9mnoavev
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx2GZkYOoF
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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma0shQNnIm
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kySzFT2Ai
"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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxpmGgrT0b
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvxTReSGij
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. 202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIgE6f1vgd
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xNXN1Y7N7
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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3rn5gd7mO
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zq8HXEI5e
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..."
