"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."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5W6MQ6jRQ

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAkCzsWBir
"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."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsFIk3JXhV

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGfogPfz66

Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWApPmILC

"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeGOe3MjYA

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMQvX7y8Jl
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPCz7WuRuN
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9tFCNgEt5
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyeTWZp5K
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7th1Sa0fcy
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlPX0sj5FF
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfiZ1iPSVb

"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. 140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJIuU7e7Dz

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLep7nAvXjD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onEZd3tvQ
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG6wCyLy9J
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXWPsLjcY
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYcfGTiaG1
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxFstJhdEg
"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?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrQMSlVu2O
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn14FqMYmSM
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUULKUI8Oem
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI5wb8fBqA
"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."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4l3YLVQqz
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKEHWiA86T
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEneYfFLFgg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFcLIrvlTY
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV7iKGInd0
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkMeBkEcYi
"Thomas."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrDtWBWcMc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CgYliaZ1
"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?140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2dfFbOtGI
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm59sbjLVKl
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLGnygKI48
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcsK1rRJOz
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdD0NhAfXO
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfq34sLV3F
"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. 140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWbgjIdMn
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyav3IU9wrY
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOm9ZtG5Yg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPtRmjfKQ0
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5W5Mlb6je
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr3IRBWpOA
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuuUPKGKC3
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkJ2zUqWvK
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA1ZpiroWX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtyDXXP5Wi
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rp6ETVN3f
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOepl1gcc60
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgIojIlJLK
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfnVR28qsb
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzvrxUxuUG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTXKPHPVsx
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. 140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADsUZHUxUi
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOIStO89Py
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc125XbMZ5
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSiTfQq3sQ
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..."
