That the edges of the universe have been explored. That we are beyond the era of wonder. But every day, there are things that cannot be explained. These are the universe\u2019s Untold Tales.\n\nOn today\u2019s program, we look at one of the most famous and mystifying disappearances in UEE history, in a segment entitled \u201cThe Last Song of Gal Dougan.\u201d\n\nGallina Leigh Dougan was born in 2868, the youngest of seven, on a small compound in the hills of Borea in Magnus system. Her parents, Ava and Scafly, ran an independent prospecting and mining business that had been passed down from Ava\u2019s grandparents who founded the venture in 2731.\n\nWARNER DOUGAN: The house always felt like a transfer zone. Mom or Dad were either landing, taking off or organizing some other family member doing the same. We had family coming in from around the \u2018verse to pull shifts, so there was a real life to the place. The door was always moving, we used to say. Anyway, I was the third youngest, so Gal became my responsibility. Only trouble was keeping her penned up; she always preferred to be under the kitchen table. The kitchen\u2019s where everybody would hang out, you see. So yeah, when she\u2019d slip out of her room, odds were you\u2019d find her sound asleep in the kitchen.\n\nIt was this fusing of work and family that many attributed to sowing the foundation of what would be known as \u2018that Gal Dougan sound.\u2019 When Gal was twelve, it was her aunt, Fran Dougan, who would play a key role in her niece\u2019s life, albeit inadvertently.\n\nFRAN DOUGAN: People keep talking like it was some divine calling or something. Here\u2019s what happened. I\u2019d been given a guitar by an ex earlier in the year. Now, I\u2019d plunk around with it on downtime during a job, but it never really took. I just didn\u2019t have an ear for it. When things spoiled with my ex, just looking at the damn thing taking up space put me in a spiral. One time I was back on Borea, Gal started tinkering around with it and seemed to like the sound. I mean I\u2019d damn near kicked her so many times under the kitchen table, I figured I owed her something, so I just let her have it.\n\nGal took to the new instrument immediately, spending hours teaching herself how to play songs she\u2019d hear on the spectrum and even started composing ones on her own. Ultimately, it was just a nice hobby to her and her family. Nothing more. Maintaining the mining business dominated all their time and attention. Children were expected to take part when they were old enough, so by the time she was seventeen, Gal was joining her brothers and cousins on mining runs, but it wasn\u2019t enough.\n\nThe Dougan Mining Company shut down in 2907 after accusations of embezzlement ripped the family apart. Gal began to pick up work as a contract miner. She started a contract in the Stanton system and moved into the local Housing Exchange, temporary accommodations for all the contract workers in the area.\n\nAfter pulling a standard shift, Gal would return to the Housing Exchange and play her guitar. To use her own words:\n\nGAL DOUGAN: At the time I didn\u2019t own much, so I didn\u2019t have a lot of options. I\u2019m not sure if you ever stayed in a HEX, but they aren\u2019t the largest living spaces in the world. These contracts could go on for months, so you either went out and got drunk or stayed in and stared at walls. I didn\u2019t drink and my father hated idleness, so I played my guitar.\n\nGal began playing simply to pass the time, but it wasn\u2019t long before the other residents in the HEX started to seek out the beautiful voice and melody echoing through the halls. These impromptu performances in her room upgraded into weekly spots in the bar, then finally into regular gigs in the atrium itself. For the first time, Gal realized that music wasn\u2019t just a hobby for her anymore.\n\nShe was discovered by longtime music manager, Henton Weekes, when he happened to pass through the system and manage to catch one of her shows. He wasted no time getting her to work. Between 2913 and 2921, Gal Dougan released three albums: Weary Day (2913), Could Have Been You (2918) and Long Time Dreamer (2921). While her lyrics commonly dealt with the joys and sorrows of work, love and family \u2014 albeit through a very gritty lens \u2014 it was her surprisingly elegant orchestration and singing that made her a sensation.\n\nFame, it would seem, would come to haunt this self-professed \u2018outskirt Borean girl\u2019 as she was vaulted into the limelight of the Empire. With each progressive album, Gal attempted to insulate herself more and more from the outside world. After the release of Long Time Dreamer, Gal Dougan receded almost completely from the public eye, opting to spend all of her time at her secluded home on Borea.\n\nCritics had wondered if the already erratic musician had finally cracked. In 2925, Gal released what would be her final album, Building Up, with no prior announcement.\n\nHENTON WEEKES: I managed Gal for over a decade and I had no idea it was going to drop. Hell, I didn\u2019t even know if she was working on something. It took me two weeks to confirm that it was actually her and not just a knockoff. But yeah, when I heard it \u2026 it was unbelievable and heartbreaking. The whole album seemed to swing between this beautiful urgent sadness and absolute euphoria. She\u2019d really taken it to another level. Unfortunately, Gal refused to back the album at all. There were no concerts. No press. No interviews. It was simply released into the universe and left there. So it was kind of a nightmare for me.\n\nYears later, when her fans had given up on ever watching her perform again, Gal appeared for one more performance. On 2931-05-31 SET, Gal Dougan flew to Prime to appear on the Elira Awards where she performed two songs: \u201cThe Day Ahead\u201d off her first album and \u201cEcho\u201d off her latest. She took a long look at the audience, quietly thanked them, then exited the stage.\n\nGal Dougan was never seen again.\n\nIt took a month before the public realized that the reclusive singer was even missing. Once the questions started, however, the Empire reeled from the loss. Civilians joined law enforcement efforts to try and locate the singer.\n\nOnce the investigation was concluded, little had been unearthed as to the singer\u2019s whereabouts. In an effort to enlist the public\u2019s help, the Advocacy released the only confirmed details about Gal Dougan\u2019s last day:\n\nAccording to flight manifests, Gal Dougan arrived in Prime to perform on the awards on a commercial transport, but no return ticket had been purchased.\n\nWitnesses claimed that after exiting the stage, Gal refused the production transport back to Magnus, saying that she was going to take a personal ship, but all of her ships were accounted for back on her property on Borea.\n\nSo what happened to Gal Dougan? Theories have swirled ever since she disappeared. Some claim that she found a jump point and has been living in her own system all this time, while others think she ran afoul of a criminal syndicate. One theory that somehow has never died was that she was abducted by Xi\u2019An to act as Emperor Kr.\u0113\u2019s personal musician. The list of theories goes on and every few years, someone claims to have found proof of what happened to the singer.\n\nBut one thing is for certain, the music made by this \u2018outskirt Borea girl\u2019 lives on. And though we can\u2019t see her, we can still hear her.\n\nComing up next, we delve into the mystery of the Coreador, claimed to have been destroyed twice. Eight years apart \u2026\n\nWhen Untold Tales returns.","de_DE":"W\u00e4hrend der gesamten menschlichen Existenz glauben die Arroganten und Unwissenden, dass sie alles entdeckt haben, was entdeckt werden kann. Dass die Grenzen des Universums erforscht sind. Dass wir jenseits der \u00c4ra des Staunens sind. Aber jeden Tag gibt es Dinge, die nicht erkl\u00e4rt werden k\u00f6nnen. Das sind die Untold Tales des Universums.\n\nAuf dem heutigen Programm steht eines der ber\u00fchmtesten und mystischsten Verschwinden in der Geschichte der UEE, in einem Segment mit dem Titel \"The Last Song of Gal Dougan\".\n\nGallina Leigh Dougan wurde 2868 als j\u00fcngste von sieben Personen auf einem kleinen Gel\u00e4nde in den H\u00fcgeln von Borea im Magnus-System geboren. Ihre Eltern, Ava und Scafly, leiteten ein unabh\u00e4ngiges Unternehmen f\u00fcr Prospektion und Bergbau, das von den Gro\u00dfeltern von Ava, die das Unternehmen 2731 gr\u00fcndeten, weitergegeben worden war.\n\nWARNER DOUGAN: Das Haus f\u00fchlte sich immer wie eine Transferzone an. Mama oder Papa landeten, starteten oder organisierten ein anderes Familienmitglied, das dasselbe tat. Wir hatten eine Familie, die aus der ganzen Strophe kam, um Schichten zu ziehen, also gab es ein richtiges Leben an diesem Ort. Die T\u00fcr bewegte sich immer, sagten wir immer. Jedenfalls war ich der drittj\u00fcngste, also wurde Gal zu meiner Verantwortung. Der einzige \u00c4rger war, sie in Schach zu halten; sie zog es immer vor, unter dem K\u00fcchentisch zu sein. In der K\u00fcche w\u00fcrden alle zusammen abh\u00e4ngen. Also ja, wenn sie aus ihrem Zimmer schl\u00fcpfte, standen die Chancen gut, dass du ihr Ger\u00e4usch in der K\u00fcche im Schlaf finden w\u00fcrdest.\n\nEs war diese Verschmelzung von Arbeit und Familie, die viele der Aussaat der Grundlage dessen zuschrieben, was als \"dieser Gal Dougan-Klang\" bekannt sein w\u00fcrde. Als Gal zw\u00f6lf Jahre alt war, war es ihre Tante Fran Dougan, die, wenn auch versehentlich, eine Schl\u00fcsselrolle im Leben ihrer Nichte spielen w\u00fcrde.\n\nFRAN DOUGAN: Die Leute reden weiter, als w\u00e4re es eine g\u00f6ttliche Berufung oder so. Hier ist, was passiert ist. Ich hatte Anfang des Jahres von einem Ex eine Gitarre bekommen. Nun, ich w\u00fcrde w\u00e4hrend eines Jobs bei Ausfallzeiten damit herumschwirren, aber es hat nie wirklich gedauert. Ich hatte einfach kein Ohr daf\u00fcr. Als die Dinge mit meinem Ex verw\u00f6hnt wurden, brachte mich der blo\u00dfe Blick auf das verdammte Ding, das Platz einnimmt, in eine Spirale. Einmal war ich wieder auf Borea, Gal fing an, daran herumzubasteln und schien den Sound zu m\u00f6gen. Ich meine, ich h\u00e4tte sie fast so oft unter dem K\u00fcchentisch getreten, dass ich dachte, ich schulde ihr etwas, also habe ich es ihr einfach gegeben.\n\nGal nahm sich sofort das neue Instrument vor und verbrachte Stunden damit, sich selbst beizubringen, wie man Lieder spielt, die sie auf dem Spektrum h\u00f6ren w\u00fcrde, und begann sogar, selbst Lieder zu komponieren. Letztendlich war es nur ein sch\u00f6nes Hobby f\u00fcr sie und ihre Familie. Nichts weiter. Die Aufrechterhaltung des Bergbaugesch\u00e4fts dominierte ihre ganze Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit. Von den Kindern wurde erwartet, dass sie teilnehmen, wenn sie alt genug waren, also begleitete Gal mit siebzehn Jahren ihre Br\u00fcder und Cousins auf Minenfahrten, aber das war nicht genug.\n\nDie Dougan Mining Company wurde 2907 geschlossen, nachdem der Vorwurf der Unterschlagung die Familie auseinandergerissen hatte. Gal begann als Contract-Miner mit der Arbeit. Sie begann einen Vertrag im neu errichteten Stanton-System und zog in die \u00f6rtliche Wohnungsb\u00f6rse, wo alle Leiharbeiter der Region untergebracht waren.\n\nNachdem sie eine Standardschicht gemacht hatte, kehrte Gal zur Housing Exchange zur\u00fcck und spielte ihre Gitarre. Um ihre eigenen Worte zu verwenden:\n\nGAL DOUGAN: Damals hatte ich nicht viel, also hatte ich nicht viele M\u00f6glichkeiten. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob du jemals in einem HEX gewohnt hast, aber es sind nicht die gr\u00f6\u00dften Wohnr\u00e4ume der Welt. Diese Vertr\u00e4ge k\u00f6nnten monatelang andauern, also bist du entweder ausgegangen und hast dich betrunken oder bist drinnen geblieben und hast auf W\u00e4nde gestarrt. Ich trank nicht und mein Vater hasste die Unt\u00e4tigkeit, also spielte ich auf der Gitarre.\n\nGal begann einfach zu spielen, um die Zeit zu vertreiben, aber es dauerte nicht lange, bis die anderen Bewohner des HEX begannen, die sch\u00f6ne Stimme und Melodie zu finden, die durch die Hallen hallte. Diese improvisierten Performances in ihrem Zimmer wurden zu w\u00f6chentlichen Spots in der Bar, dann schlie\u00dflich zu regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Auftritten im Atrium selbst aufgewertet. Zum ersten Mal erkannte Gal, dass Musik nicht mehr nur ein Hobby f\u00fcr sie ist.\n\nSie wurde vom langj\u00e4hrigen Musikmanager Henton Weekes entdeckt, als er zuf\u00e4llig durch das System ging und es schaffte, eine ihrer Shows zu sehen. Er vergeudete keine Zeit, um sie zur Arbeit zu bringen. Zwischen 2913 und 2921 ver\u00f6ffentlichte Gal Dougan drei Alben: Weary Day (2913), Could Have Been You (2918) und Long Time Dreamer (2921). W\u00e4hrend sich ihre Texte h\u00e4ufig mit den Freuden und Leiden von Arbeit, Liebe und Familie besch\u00e4ftigten - wenn auch durch eine sehr kiesige Linse -, war es ihre \u00fcberraschend elegante Orchestrierung und ihr Gesang, die sie zu einer Sensation machte.\n\nDer Ruhm, so scheint es, w\u00fcrde dieses selbsternannte \"outkirt Boreanisches M\u00e4dchen\" heimsuchen, da sie in das Rampenlicht des Imperiums gew\u00f6lbt wurde. Mit jedem Progressive-Album versuchte Gal, sich mehr und mehr von der Au\u00dfenwelt zu isolieren. Nach der Ver\u00f6ffentlichung von Long Time Dreamer zog sich Gal Dougan fast vollst\u00e4ndig aus der \u00d6ffentlichkeit zur\u00fcck und entschied sich daf\u00fcr, ihre gesamte Zeit in ihrem abgelegenen Zuhause auf Borea zu verbringen.\n\nKritiker hatten sich gefragt, ob der ohnehin schon unberechenbare Musiker endlich geknackt hatte. 2925 ver\u00f6ffentlichte Gal ihr letztes Album Building Up ohne Aufbau oder Ank\u00fcndigung.\n\nHENTON WEEKES: Ich habe Gal \u00fcber ein Jahrzehnt lang geleitet und ich hatte keine Ahnung, dass er fallen w\u00fcrde. Zum Teufel, ich wusste nicht mal, ob sie an etwas arbeitet. Es dauerte zwei Wochen, bis ich best\u00e4tigte, dass es tats\u00e4chlich sie war und nicht nur eine F\u00e4lschung. Aber ja, als ich es h\u00f6rte.... war es unglaublich und herzzerrei\u00dfend. Das ganze Album schien zwischen dieser sch\u00f6nen, dringenden Traurigkeit und absoluter Euphorie zu schwanken. Sie hatte es wirklich auf eine andere Ebene gebracht. Leider weigerte sich Gal, das Album \u00fcberhaupt zu unterst\u00fctzen. Es gab keine Konzerte. Keine Presse. Keine Interviews. Es wurde einfach in das Universum entlassen und dort zur\u00fcckgelassen. Es war also ein Albtraum f\u00fcr mich.\n\nJahre sp\u00e4ter, als ihre Fans es aufgegeben hatten, ihr jemals wieder zuzusehen, erschien Gal f\u00fcr eine weitere Vorstellung. Am 31.05.1991 SET flog Gal Dougan nach Prime, um bei den Elira Awards dabei zu sein, wo sie zwei Songs auff\u00fchrte: \"The Day Ahead\" von ihrem ersten Album und \"Echo\" von ihrem neuesten. Sie warf einen langen Blick auf das Publikum, bedankte sich leise bei ihnen und verlie\u00df dann die B\u00fchne.\n\nGal Dougan wurde nie wieder gesehen.\n\nEs dauerte einen Monat, bis das Publikum merkte, dass der einsame S\u00e4nger sogar vermisst wurde. Sobald die Fragen jedoch begannen, rollte das Imperium vom Verlust ab. Zivilisten schlossen sich den Strafverfolgungsbeh\u00f6rden an, um zu versuchen, den S\u00e4nger zu finden.\n\nNach Abschluss der Untersuchung war wenig \u00fcber den Aufenthaltsort der S\u00e4ngerin bekannt. In dem Bem\u00fchen, die Hilfe der \u00d6ffentlichkeit zu gewinnen, ver\u00f6ffentlichte die Anwaltschaft die einzigen best\u00e4tigten Details \u00fcber Gal Dougans letzten Tag:\n\nLaut Flugmanifestationen kam Gal Dougan in Prime an, um die Auszeichnungen f\u00fcr einen kommerziellen Transport durchzuf\u00fchren, aber es wurde kein R\u00fcckflugticket gekauft.\n\nZeugen behaupteten, dass Gal nach dem Verlassen der B\u00fchne den Produktionstransport zur\u00fcck zu Magnus verweigerte und sagte, dass sie ein pers\u00f6nliches Schiff nehmen w\u00fcrde, aber alle ihre Schiffe wurden auf ihrem Grundst\u00fcck auf Borea zur\u00fcckverfolgt.\n\nAlso, was ist mit Gal Dougan passiert? Theorien haben sich verwirbelt, seit sie verschwunden ist. Einige behaupten, dass sie einen Sprungpunkt gefunden hat und die ganze Zeit in ihrem eigenen System gelebt hat, w\u00e4hrend andere denken, dass sie mit einem kriminellen Syndikat in Konflikt geraten ist. Eine Theorie, die irgendwie nie gestorben ist, war, dass sie von Xi'An entf\u00fchrt wurde, um als pers\u00f6nliche Musikerin von Kaiser Kr.\u0113 zu fungieren. Die Liste der Theorien geht weiter und alle paar Jahre behauptet jemand, Beweise daf\u00fcr gefunden zu haben, was mit dem S\u00e4nger passiert ist.\n\nAber eines ist sicher, die Musik dieses'Vorstadtm\u00e4dchens von Borea' lebt weiter. Und obwohl wir sie nicht sehen k\u00f6nnen, k\u00f6nnen wir sie trotzdem h\u00f6ren.\n\nAls n\u00e4chstes tauchen wir in das Geheimnis des Coreador ein, der angeblich zweimal zerst\u00f6rt wurde. Acht Jahre auseinander.....\n\nWenn Untold Tales zur\u00fcckkehrt.","zh_CN":"Throughout Human existence, the arrogant and ignorant believe that they\u2019ve discovered all that can be discovered.
