Life-shell

A life-shell was a transport pod used by the Dellacoi.

Leet was a Dellacoi which lost its life-shell after being "snatched away" by the time winds and crashing on Railway Street in Splott. Heavily damaged, the pod was picked up by Torchwood Three, where it became a pet project of Ianto Jones.

In the proximity of search units, such as Mildred, the pod made an unearthly musical warbling noise which gradually turned into a howling shriek of alarm. Coloured lights flickered across the surface of the pod in rapid but seemingly haphazard patterns. A pulse-like glow emanated from deep within it. (PROSE: Bay of the Dead)
