"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."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcY81xNuSk

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmIbUU4Rx
"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."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasq4JwgLx5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA78UcNuCU4
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKYGsddyHo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4IwjhFYkS
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyKyAIjDws
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou62frWchs
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNizHB0wz1
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJihtvL4uIA

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMDco1SMhh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BzYTUPpN3
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ444cunMrEz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsAgJlEIEx
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1wA9Baubl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd3kxnNYao
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWIyJpmM5P
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfa3WRavpl
"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. 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUDrvxNjH9

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN20UHCkzs
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVQNwhGfz
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF6mKvMN3T
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLMX6ElefB
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Oq2B0vif
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGH3XcfAQ
"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?"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB83kY40lT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWxj9trLY
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclIinqd95t
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIz4EL58pp
"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."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73pQ28CvTU
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvO9DaHngO
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ngsy8dSmb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8joCXV7YF
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObMXPfA9zz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrQbsFm1w4
"Thomas."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXyz01MoAO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrWpS4aMve
"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?49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XCfdohVRD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTimPRdYN4G
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQbzlvmULu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEGyHaOs1p
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2biBT8ju5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Yti9GiTE
"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. 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtitn3Hdds
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpfkt181t
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0um3AWCco
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdSoqLDFoD
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCW5ddtv59
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUDMK9atP
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFvXOk1v7B
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6avrBlYjeA
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQL3GD3MvT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0KiSSlNzj
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvKRltY2ov
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZoR7cPy8p
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUzt8kxXXL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Ecuounjc
"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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQn5X64AsU
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiqkpou8rt
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. 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUoadZl4R9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUJTdWefrA
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev3fF2MxPF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZujDHEXqu
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..."
