"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAXTYy753Zps
696Please respect copyright.PENANADIicHeiLzj
"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
696Please respect copyright.PENANAlhavBGhwwM
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANAep6jbIuqDU
696Please respect copyright.PENANAUjeAvrVRK6
"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."696Please respect copyright.PENANABJSsDzp2v9
696Please respect copyright.PENANAqtiRN1X7NC
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 696Please respect copyright.PENANA7yLFteUPL1
696Please respect copyright.PENANAoWgbteoj8C
696Please respect copyright.PENANAVJluRQ2bi3
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAfP2LFbePRo

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.696Please respect copyright.PENANAkGnpNL7y4V
696Please respect copyright.PENANAlDFbcREM0N
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAGJJaxcOV8z
696Please respect copyright.PENANAYEVAK2fCIq
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."696Please respect copyright.PENANAV013F1oJ89
696Please respect copyright.PENANAwXsfZTpKqh
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.696Please respect copyright.PENANAlR3IMWUpDZ
696Please respect copyright.PENANATXuSyoYRgk
"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. 696Please respect copyright.PENANA0SqSQ8AAp0
696Please respect copyright.PENANAag7ko04N5W
"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.696Please respect copyright.PENANAbkdagiYmNT
696Please respect copyright.PENANAE0H7MosdZy
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."696Please respect copyright.PENANArI1Od2aaf6
696Please respect copyright.PENANAZKXp6dixOR
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAV7KgIS1lK9
696Please respect copyright.PENANAXxnJDqRnXI
"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?"696Please respect copyright.PENANAyQzcIoZSWs
696Please respect copyright.PENANAvdkgDaGdpX
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.696Please respect copyright.PENANAAL3iEXacM6
696Please respect copyright.PENANANadnvXv72I
"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."696Please respect copyright.PENANA8rSE4FKdTM
696Please respect copyright.PENANAhZdasOCq5J
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.696Please respect copyright.PENANA33ICoS16kb
696Please respect copyright.PENANAzzQ2wvfXgA
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."696Please respect copyright.PENANA6Iy0xBxW8N
696Please respect copyright.PENANA8T36pQlj05
"Thomas."696Please respect copyright.PENANAuTzQ6icFyr
696Please respect copyright.PENANAlrFwjR8Wzb
"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?696Please respect copyright.PENANAfLORryVsfK
696Please respect copyright.PENANA7klIvomTFM
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANALzYb9k4Edz
696Please respect copyright.PENANAxIRBhBLDZ2
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAA0oygKJuCo
696Please respect copyright.PENANA32uQ26Uh8i
"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. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAjkT3r5byE9
696Please respect copyright.PENANAZe84G9UfWf
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAblGRju7aX5
696Please respect copyright.PENANAWnZgKlVSPS
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.696Please respect copyright.PENANA5vCV4CpjVl
696Please respect copyright.PENANAO2NdtMCG7Z
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.696Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y5IVKNOfa
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAprbQU8Y4ls
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.696Please respect copyright.PENANA1xjoAEfhfw
696Please respect copyright.PENANAAZJ6XqROr0
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAHNuQ7K5Em9
696Please respect copyright.PENANAuOKGAN7dLY
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9K4caQx0C
696Please respect copyright.PENANAVJRkZk8Ewr
"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.696Please respect copyright.PENANAaBRosQbp2D
696Please respect copyright.PENANAWVHd801WrN
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. 696Please respect copyright.PENANAPyCkrQVFuI
696Please respect copyright.PENANAkPpbkObNUn
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.696Please respect copyright.PENANApBCG39CKYV
696Please respect copyright.PENANADQzoFcPgLe
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..."
