"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."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedU0Qmbcyr

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEu5mJpcaF
"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."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGebu62fzbj
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P6RsmXlYz
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJERKf3CyLK
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11nJtwp2Oc
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUV09wuzVX
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZlQFSA7Wu
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgX20izUf
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGBdxVugOA

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU1h085v0i
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdqGR6nIvd
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdkWwMDGgW
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwMhKZdACR
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T375DCnws
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkBf54TArf
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kSWNcIRTK
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrxGSZfrTJ
"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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFtPmiQ0Y7
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQsqAULYkh
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1OuReGkk8
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwHsTlCtDa
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm9coMeABu
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7gVn9ptks
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x6aRcULEL
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiljajK7ST
"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?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQPb6OsImF
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdENkJnkDe
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH32vpFg3JP
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXKqmBGbqj
"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."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sYkgirZoc
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeDZFdNEN3
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHiiZe0eSs
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8K5aCOZfy
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg0XTOMpIL
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUu5OpX1te
"Thomas."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcymzvzpWco
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2w5xLDhgk
"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?216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3znlxo8rV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SLwB3vUTV
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxeqISmkKx
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9oLPmSjTi
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADTtm1c6e6
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E41jQttcI
"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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRYTS8CDJ6
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8szIuhV4Zv
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsx7x4iO4D
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLQIhJpmwi
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZA4Jg71r7
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9mCp7bt41
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3c0r6EhFl
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTnl3EhZQn
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpSegW4DOY
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WVy4Y1Ztf
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWuvayexu0
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkl3MfNxf0
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s6lGBU0Qt
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXzAWrIjzK
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACyeESQxBc
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPOB4XLCaX
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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NXAhBaKGX
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGSq0R4BtI
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVmIdjcjgn
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhhB7SBWZX
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..."
