[18:15] Akiel Martian held up to fingers, "..make it two..", he said and sat back against the bar, watching the door a moment, "..oi've been hunting..and doin' what oi do best, watchin' all yer backs from the Shadows..just canna be watch 'all' of ye' all the time.." [18:18] Fluffy Snoodle waits for the drinks to be served and turns around with hers in hand, taking small sips from it for now, "Well, Ayr wont be happy to know that you were alone most of today." She'd say tapping her fingers on the glass. "I've actally been craving some action lately. It's been too quiet." [18:21] Akiel Martian reached into his pocket and pulled out the respectable amunt for tip along with the two drinks, setting it on the counter as the two beverages were served. Syle's right hand came around to grab the bottle, "..Ayr already know..", he said, tipping the beverage back, taking a long drag, "..oi dun fear the UAC, oi've inta the middle of three of em, dissarmed them and walked away..oi dun need a buddy ta help me ta get ta work..me job as a Shadow is ta help intel and protect the Pack, oi dun need no one in the Pack protectin' me..", he said, watching the door again, "..Ayr knows me well enough ta know, oi keep ta me'self, when oi need help, oi'll ask..n' oi wont be shy ta ask either..aint no false pride in this Wolf, Fluffers.." [18:25] Fluffy Snoodle nods slowly, the bottle attached to her lips now. "You know...that may be so but there was a UAC raid outside of here earlier. An entire raid, Wolf. You have to be more careful now. The pack may have more members in it now but few old ones. I'd like to keep it the way it is." Fluffys tails would flick around behind her now, "Losing any family member due to the carelessness of them isn't in my agenda, and losing them to the UAC is even farther from it." She'd pause again and take another drag. "Though, That's just the way I look at things. I should be more considerate of you though, we're alike in some ways. We don't ask for help when it's not needed and we're loners it seems." She'd stop at that and perk a brow to him, waiting for his two cents. [18:30] Akiel Martian: "It seems, naw, that the way it is..they say ye' canna have two alpha wolves in any Pack, n' that aint completely true.. oi've always been me own Alpha, n' oi always will be, oi protect the Pack, because it need protectin'..", he raised that left mechanical arm and flexed the fingers of it, small cervos being heard. His gaze narrowed, "..oi gave up me left arm fightin' them Cyborgs..haven yer' arm ripped from it socket and crushed infront o' yer face, aint nothin' ta describe it..n' oi still be here..", he considered her a moment, "..aye, oi have a feelin' too that we be havin' a wee bit in common, maybe that's why oi can joke with ye'..", he said shrugging. [18:35] Fluffy Snoodle looks down to her bottle and nods some, "I'm sorry I left the pack before the cyborgs attacks, I really am." She'd sigh and look at the beer still left in the bottle, "Heh, that's twice in a week the cyborg attack has been mentioned to me. Maybe it's trying to tell me something." She'd pause to take another swig of her booze, "I feel there is something I should do for the pack that I haven't been able to. Ayr appolgized for the pack letting me down the night of the explosion - "Which infact made her pause in thought, "Mmm, helping save Ayrs life that night just doesn't seem like enough. The pack lost too much from the cybrogs, and I don't mean lives by that, I mean everything in general. It just doesn't seem the same anymore." [18:39] Akiel Martian: "No..it aint..alot was taken away..", he said, cranning his head back, glug, glug, glug. He reached back setting the now empty bottle atop the counter top, "..oi dinna know ye' were in the Pack befor the attacks..oi've been with the Pack almost a full year now..'ow could oi have missed such a perty face?" [18:43] Fluffy Snoodle shrugs as she keeps staring to the contents of the bottle, "I wasn't around much. Didn't feel I fit in. The only person who seemed to remember me was Ayr actually. Everyone else just walked by me." She'd shrug and finally look over to Syle, "Tell me something, how does one find their meaning to life?" She'd ask, "I'm going to be alive for many years to come and I don't want to make it a never ending search. I will...have seen my friends die over the years, I've seen the effects of war and violence. It's not what I've been looking for and I just don't know how to handle it anymore." She'd kick her boots against the wooden counter, making a small indentation. "I just don't know what to do anymore." [18:45] OmartelDax Dragovar glances inside and spots the pair of fellow Packies, grunting a light greeting as he enters inside. [18

A massively impressive monument today after restoration, Creevykeel was an obscure site when first recorded as an antiquity in the OS Name Book of 1909. The record of that time describes the site as "three ancient graves situated about 100yards SE of Mrs. McGown's shop", as can be seen from the photo above, there was much more to Creevykeel than was apparent at that time. An excavation by Hencken in1939 revealed a huge Court Cairn containing a large gallery and three subsidiary chambers. The cairn is trapezoidal and is about 21m across the "front" at the SE, the length is uncertain as the "rear" of the cairn at the NW has been destroyed, but surviving revetment indicates it was at least 48m long. The cairn was retained by dry stone revetment which was built directly on the ground surface, virtually all of this has gone, but in some places surviving sections still reach up to about 1.5m high. There are two short sections, one at the NE, and also one midway along the southern side, where there are double walls of revetment separated by about 1m. In addition to these small sections, the entire SE "front" end of the cairn has double walls 4m apart, almost as though the front of the cairn had been lengthened by the addition of an extension. There are also short (2-3m), runs of upright slabs set outside of the revetment on the north and south sides, their significance is unclear. The entrance to the court is an orthostat-lined, paved passage, 1m wide and 4.5m long, set in the middle of the slightly concave SE end of the cairn. The court itself is a 15m x 9m oval also lined with orthostats, these stones are not set in socket holes, like the revetment they rest directly on the ground surface. Both the court and passage orthostats have dry stone inter-fill in places, a technique which is also seen in the walls of gallery chambers themselves. The court lining stones vary in height, averaging 1m, but become tallest as they approach the gallery entrance, reaching a height of 2m, they may also have had increased height around the entrance passage. A gap of 3.5m was found in the court lining stones at the south, and another smaller gap had been made at the north when a kiln was built there in early Christian times. Near the centre of the court space was a large shallow sand-filled pit delimited by bands of stones. The gallery is entered between two huge jamb stones which bear the massive re-erected lintel stone, the area in front of the entrance was paved. The gallery is about 9m long and is divided into two chambers by a second pair of jamb stones, the front chamber runs for about 4.5m and the rear about 3.5m. The gallery width is about 3m, but it tapers in towards the rear where it ends at the huge back slab. The back stone is gabled, as are the intermediate jamb stones, all shaped to support the original corbelled roof of the chamber, traces of this corbelling can still be seen at the rear of the chamber. Past the gallery to the NW are the remains of three subsidiary chambers with lateral entrances, two on the north, and one on the south side of the cairn. The northern chambers are heavily damaged so their original structure is unknown, but the southern chamber fared much better. This chamber has a short well defined entrance passage about 2m long and 1m wide opening into an orthostat lined chamber measuring 2.5m x 2m. The cairn has undergone extensive restoration, the entire rear cairn section, much of the northern chambers, and NE cairn corner are all reconstructions, the southern gap in the court wall has also been closed. Interestingly, the restorers chose to retain the early Christian gap in the court wall and the kiln remains. Finds from the site included undecorated Neolithic pottery, decorated Early Bronze Age pottery, stone tools, a stone bead, and two clay balls. Given the complexity of the monument, there was surprisingly little evidence of funerary activity, this was limited to small pieces of cremated bone found in pits in both gallery chambers. Today Creevykeel is an atmospheric and very accessible monument to visit, it is only metres from the main Bundoran to Sligo road and has ample parking.
