"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."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN843jWJhpA
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthXvpXZVb3
"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWjKfTEt67
"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."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5wbwBSMxM
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLAN0W6oKT
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7CelPKhFw
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCniZZ2r6R
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhgTc58zia
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJWwZyfB2
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8OLEdvFNY
"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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqSCD3gYSr

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmphit9fp
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtKIxwFYUc
"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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQUo6yGuYK
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF22humgbn
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJnpKOJwdp
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQEn3mAZsN
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3og9zPrYD
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliMy5YSSxJ
"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. 211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466l77fTR3
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWerfcMlDWk
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb3kwsvp75
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1k3bAkAAs
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToPVRVDjTU
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa77zOdDZK
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedL32Iuqb
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNjP5LDVEa
"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?"211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJLmEPw2Ic
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRIzeVHxmj
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t8UApaQK1
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbwBtFDFGI
"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."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ovWAngYo
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bMFPuUNi7
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadYoW6g0Ig
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr43dcWkAg
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLtxF3HV6T
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscDLtf3kTE
"Thomas."211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoxATISaEp
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5zbVIrcAy
"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?211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHdsvOc0o4
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgy0PKuP7T
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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIiiojQj5d
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5neRmtxeMA
"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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETHQGSahf1
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywPebkUkcc
"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. 211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTHiumUxMl
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWEvVmvsD6
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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoLLAMChZM
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHg37VjGI
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8zDaPT9Xr
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdoaOpnRcl
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyucxi1KD7E
"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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxZYdTQgXE
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z1MYq80nL
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JKsTUlU3o
"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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WzjtrqPXC
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkDrRI7iNe
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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCzu1jZ5uX
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpt8RxXlpV
"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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl8JJ1tr65
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hO0cSodEi
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. 211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0y7kqoi4O
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDqyZ9jbBd
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.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWGKPGwL6Z
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJVbxFnEB
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..."
