However, when they got in range of the [[Cardiff rift|the Rift]] one of the devices began to communicate to the crew using [[telepathy]]. It foretold tales of war and gave the taste of blood and metal. Spooked, the crew jettisoned the crates into the sea. | A cargo ship outside of [[Cardiff Bay]] has several alien artefacts in its hold which the crew were paid handsomely for transporting.
