"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."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9u0pqtJgi

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqeOgeiK1x
"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."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxGcUMRrt
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xIb1FfPc4
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWfzZ9zkmr
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk8r39aTOw
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ1L5HxJ6p
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1a2Qp4U1r
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuZhRVkuvi
"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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGDClmjWT

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXyT4EN0m
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUMpyrCj35
"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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gI2XHL1zc
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sMXgbQehJ
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcGDPUCBhy
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6j1yaxVS8
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53lZIheXYE
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWJHnv4hcV
"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. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZfR9Rm48
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6mAMJKOX5
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ2G5rpkSU
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnD2Tya8TN
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHro8V7xbM
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOIJHqmMQw
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWe4mvpq16
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB2cisPojc
"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?"212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjXFe1nbAR
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPMlh6o6Yy
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVgIP43HeW
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBb4etYqIj
"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."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ90KFkcXF
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5TG9QUtd6
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACzzaJ4TZS
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vTfXIUwkq
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyK4KJnciK
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHvgsUdUjT
"Thomas."212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNWOiqpjTd
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNapV252Z1H
"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?212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4qYE3ZF6
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pzf7rVhMv
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXgm7jV5SI
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnaDMeFV5Z
"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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOylrO2UQjY
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkrWG18Xax
"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. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGdWd2Hotj
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TzO73YCDW
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMnvT2jYc6
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6AkuJB1Zm
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJQwJuYNPd
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtB14uDJmp
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrHHUuuTNm
"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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizft1oLQiU
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbeuM1xAwK
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGxKjZQ6XP
"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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqtK0KrIzd
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp2HFJ9A7z
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQoFrYt446
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQI578RSx
"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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnR3Th0ffL
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzuVkELSVZ
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. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXhM2uZSID
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kr0fU4OPs
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4erOoB9WaN
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvdWoW1eVg
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..."
