"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFBrc7ICc3

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtLltlhtf
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwefRJOX1b

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU3wAUbwdk
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREojLpjNwv
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE8NQQYC1l

"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlIStd7TMB

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHZ2MinDHT
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgsSMc6BhF
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UEQpBDJhz
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmwmIHJgPu
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK0BabjRQH
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQrEk5UDN8
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6OryCq5B
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVsyoJKGz
"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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBZp7QmFcO
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQm6GaH9xf
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLND7rU40s
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH1WdoHoxv
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD1JZXY2g5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid3ncubZuz
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9SlKrtacC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix1HWc6MtN
"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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9viF8ZFvzF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsURMziDs8z
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrAKa28SEN
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkAZ1rSJY
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkXMBpShmZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi7jImsftI
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq864SMaCd9
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcKjTyNWTC
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcs1KthN39
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJAB3syoYh
"Thomas."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVoamWTYGo
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfiTWWW8nD
"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?218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHQbvnmvtx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4N4M2FZZw
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyuwWk45Sa
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pBAhGtRVA
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFuHCVu55w
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoa8VIZS1W
"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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwe3WC3kwU
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkAMK9ofxh
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEerLje2RZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDC0Q7TLRy
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmfdpN7jVQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb9A9YkV4m
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN7biqoDDL
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhfy7Avbit
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcnERYG2c4
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIKozfsEOn
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0kCTK5T6
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzEKStbQp5
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25siF907Yy
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7yq2Tc0SL
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol02uw4PQy
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw4Im9wECv
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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeA3zTnN1C
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIYczlGGJ
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2INh6fsm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOHqm5ZQn4
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..."
