"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."97Please respect copyright.PENANADwIEcBKeIX
97Please respect copyright.PENANA8yP5Iou2kF
"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
97Please respect copyright.PENANAd9oWhYmibY
"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."97Please respect copyright.PENANATSwI8gBiDb
97Please respect copyright.PENANAD5GRsCfZxx
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."97Please respect copyright.PENANARkFdu1grqY
97Please respect copyright.PENANAQMvLpifFCZ
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 97Please respect copyright.PENANA5h6vugCCVS
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0UsJPCIMwM
97Please respect copyright.PENANAASp1XBjJy0
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAZRZgvvI6Q3

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.97Please respect copyright.PENANAK4dQWVczUJ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAzizKQ287OC
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAawBG0EDbhn
97Please respect copyright.PENANA3vgS63hXd2
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."97Please respect copyright.PENANAwwXvP3hINz
97Please respect copyright.PENANAYFCZo4umiW
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.97Please respect copyright.PENANAcTEs98ycF3
97Please respect copyright.PENANATQ53DeB4Jm
"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. 97Please respect copyright.PENANACnsJzLFrkz
97Please respect copyright.PENANAaKlDZacCKa
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.97Please respect copyright.PENANAASciv1SONZ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAMdWgBm5L6k
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."97Please respect copyright.PENANAqbKmPqtIpb
97Please respect copyright.PENANABVI3kxatTa
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.97Please respect copyright.PENANABbTNH3J9Nd
97Please respect copyright.PENANANVnmCKMGJV
"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?"97Please respect copyright.PENANA9fB9iOxGyn
97Please respect copyright.PENANAulPltUTmpp
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.97Please respect copyright.PENANA0kksYCC48r
97Please respect copyright.PENANALNSuPaAGGR
"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."97Please respect copyright.PENANAWbd2ujHbHy
97Please respect copyright.PENANAw2lNueoy1K
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.97Please respect copyright.PENANAxw4bgfI33M
97Please respect copyright.PENANABTULEKVTdw
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."97Please respect copyright.PENANAI9GVYcLrKN
97Please respect copyright.PENANAm88SDqzAQ0
"Thomas."97Please respect copyright.PENANAwaB0p7vxRM
97Please respect copyright.PENANAzfpHhqfTQo
"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?97Please respect copyright.PENANAyhyM8yleXP
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1XlOxZhfvF
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAD01QcIehFK
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1EBCjt02Zb
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANACn9iNBx1jk
97Please respect copyright.PENANA6o4wDBVSP3
"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. 97Please respect copyright.PENANAo3KPFKH0a3
97Please respect copyright.PENANARfqbTUxrOO
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKRf5FbyVAR
97Please respect copyright.PENANA8EtJuZZzS8
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.97Please respect copyright.PENANABd7F5Nzmyi
97Please respect copyright.PENANADVrsef3P5V
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.97Please respect copyright.PENANAROsRdPY5su
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAXGeEfsX6wu
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.97Please respect copyright.PENANAky8mm78FVY
97Please respect copyright.PENANANwPUnbrhlw
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANA0FJtk4HUFe
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZ16Ciwp1Hs
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAeiaWsI798Y
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0VQ36WDX4N
"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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAG5OScrAYs9
97Please respect copyright.PENANApTFeVS1HKj
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. 97Please respect copyright.PENANAqEMLdYS6OE
97Please respect copyright.PENANAylEsd9HRlK
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.97Please respect copyright.PENANAjxwUaewu5U
97Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ys3QGfPZv
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..."
