It is there that forgotten whispers echo just out of reach, waiting to be heard. These are Untold Tales.\n\nToday, we travel to Bremen, where on June 20th, 2941, freelance mercenary Sera Misagaru was flying a sweep pattern along the shipping lanes that crisscross between Rytif and Bremen III, looking to pick up whatever work could be found. For the previous six months, Sera would, if the credits were right, offer to assist any ships that had found themselves in harm\u2019s way. Although Bremen\u2019s considered a safe system, those who make their living traversing the black learn quickly that in space, safety is a relative thing. It was there, amidst the flow of commerce, a routine operation began that was destined to become anything but.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: It seemed like a straightforward enough job. I mean, at the time I didn\u2019t even think twice about it. The message popped up on the boards just like you\u2019d expect. Some poor captain had flown a little too far off the beaten path, looking to save time, and wound up running into an outlaw pack. Don\u2019t want to hesitate too long with contracts like that. It\u2019s not only about the credits. When you\u2019re out there, if you keep your head on, you can actually save lives.\nSera accepted the contract and hurried to the coordinates where the distressed ship had sent its plea for help. Upon arriving, the mercenary had been prepared to do battle against a fleet of outlaws but instead, a surprise was waiting.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: There was nothing there.\nSera Misagaru had become the most recent pilot to respond to what has become known as the \u2018Unanswered Cry.\u2019\n\nSERA MISAGARU: Not a wreck. Not a piece of debris. Not even some floating rocks. Just nothing. And I scanned, too. After the wide sweep to make sure the whole thing wasn\u2019t an ambush, I even narrowed my band and did a detailed once around just to make sure I hadn\u2019t missed anything. I hadn\u2019t. When I say there was nothing there, I mean it. The weirdest part? As soon as I arrived, the contract had cleared out from my mobi. Was like it never even existed.\nAll together there have been fourteen reports during the past century of pilots responding to the Solomon and its captain\u2019s cries for help. All of them reported a similar experience: a ship in need, a contract accepted, and the discovery of an empty stretch of space waiting for them at the end.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: At first I figured it was some twip trying to spread some grief, so I went and contacted the local guild office about it. The job wasn\u2019t affiliated, but sometimes they hear something, you know? I started telling them what had happened, and the rep just nodded. They knew the whole story. Turns out there had been several mercs over the years who had tried to help the Solomon.\nA hauling ship owned and operated by Captain Laramy Stevens, the Solomon spent an honest and industrious fifteen years servicing the area around Rytif. Then on October 21, 2794, the ship vanished. We spoke to ProtLife Insurance associate Genevieve Atrella to learn what little is known about the Solomon\u2019s tragic fate.\n\nGENEVIEVE ATRELLIA: Despite whatever it is that these people are claiming, the Solomon was destroyed in 2794. That\u2019s a fact. Our records show that a salvager ship picked up the Solomon\u2019s black box in a remote part of the Bremen system and returned it to the local authorities, who then proceeded to hand it over to us. The data on the flight recorder showed that the ship was returning with ore from a distant asteroid mining post when it was attacked by unidentified outlaws. Sadly, no arrests were ever made in the case.\nNot only were the outlaws never found, neither were the Solomon and its captain. Beyond the black box, no trace of either the ship or Stevens have ever been discovered. How did the black box get removed from the ship? If it was attacked, why were there no signs there or anywhere else in the system?\n\nGENEVIEVE ATRELLA: I personally wouldn\u2019t read too much into the fact that no wreckage or corpse was recovered. I mean maybe the people who attacked the ship took it. Maybe it drifted away. Maybe the salvager who discovered the black box was lying. Could be that an unscrupulous scavenger got there first. A lot could have happened.\nBut will we ever know what really did happen? While these are all ready explanations, none help to reveal the source of the messages or why they keep sending decade after decade. Could it be that Laramy Stevens is actually still trying to call for help?\n\nTOLOMER WINSOME: I think the Solomon is stuck somewhere. I don\u2019t know where. Maybe in interspace or something like that. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not a scientist, but I do know there\u2019s more in this \u2019verse than what we can see with our own eyes.\nThe oldest living person to have experienced the unanswered cry, Tolomer Winsome heard the message in 2843.\n\nTOLOMER WINSOME: Got the call for help and I went running just like any good person would. When I found nothing there, I couldn\u2019t shake it. I found out that there were others that heard the cry too. Different message every time, different coordinates, but always the Solomon and always Captain Stevens. I\u2019ve been going back every year since to search. I haven\u2019t found anything yet or heard the message again, but I just think what it would be like if I was lost like that. Sends shivers down my back every time. It\u2019s what keeps me looking.\nSERA MISAGARU: I\u2019ve gone out a few times now with Tolomer. Usually one or two of the others do too. Once you heard the message, you sort of can\u2019t let it go. We\u2019re all people who like to help others, it\u2019s why we tried to answer in the first place. Figured it\u2019s probably worthwhile to keep searching just in case.\nAnd so, the search for the Solomon continues while the questions grow. Many have supposed that the signal is just some kind of cruel joke. But why go through all that trouble? What is there to gain? Is Captain Stevens really still out there? Is the unanswered cry just some glitch in the system? When Untold Tales returns, we talk to computer expert Johana Quint and see what happens when someone tries to trace this mysterious signal to its source.\n\nJOHANA QUINT: I\u2019ve never seen anything like it.\nThat and more when Untold Tales returns.","de_DE":"Jeden Tag wird unser Verst\u00e4ndnis des Universums wiederhergestellt, wenn neue Geheimnisse ans Licht kommen, wodurch unsere Wahrnehmung so leicht ver\u00e4ndert wird wie die Sandk\u00f6rner innerhalb einer Sanduhr. Es scheint allzu oft, dass unser schwaches Verst\u00e4ndnis von Realit\u00e4t nur durch die dunklen Schatten unseres kollektiven Bewusstseins in der Zeit befestigt wird. Dort ert\u00f6nt das vergessene Fl\u00fcstern, das au\u00dferhalb der Reichweite liegt und darauf wartet, geh\u00f6rt zu werden. Das sind unerz\u00e4hlte Geschichten.\n\nHeute fahren wir nach Bremen, wo am 20. Juni 2941 die freiberufliche S\u00f6ldnerin Sera Misagaru ein Sweep-Muster entlang der Fahrspuren flog, die sich zwischen Rytif und Bremen III kreuzen, um die gefundenen Arbeiten abzuholen. In den letzten sechs Monaten w\u00fcrde Sera, wenn die Kredite stimmen w\u00fcrden, anbieten, alle Schiffe zu unterst\u00fctzen, die sich in Gefahr befanden. Obwohl Bremen als sicheres System gilt, lernen diejenigen, die ihren Lebensunterhalt durch Schwarz verdienen, schnell, dass im Weltraum Sicherheit eine relative Sache ist. Dort, inmitten des Handelsflusses, begann eine Routineoperation, die dazu bestimmt war, alles andere zu werden.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: Es schien ein unkomplizierter Job zu sein. Ich meine, zu der Zeit habe ich nicht einmal zweimal dar\u00fcber nachgedacht. Die Nachricht tauchte auf den Foren auf, genau wie man es erwarten w\u00fcrde. Ein armer Kapit\u00e4n war ein wenig zu weit vom ausgetretenen Pfad abgeflogen, um Zeit zu sparen, und landete in einem Gesetzlosenpack. Ich m\u00f6chte nicht zu lange mit solchen Vertr\u00e4gen z\u00f6gern. Es geht nicht nur um den Abspann. Wenn du da drau\u00dfen bist, kannst du, wenn du den Kopf frei hast, tats\u00e4chlich Leben retten.\nSera nahm den Vertrag an und eilte zu den Koordinaten, an denen das notleidende Schiff sein Flehen um Hilfe geschickt hatte. Bei seiner Ankunft war der S\u00f6ldner bereit gewesen, gegen eine Flotte von Gesetzlosen zu k\u00e4mpfen, aber stattdessen wartete eine \u00dcberraschung.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: Da war nichts.\nSera Misagaru war der j\u00fcngste Pilot, der auf den so genannten \"Unbeantworteten Schrei\" reagierte.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: Kein Wrack. Nicht ein St\u00fcck Tr\u00fcmmer. Nicht einmal ein paar schwimmende Steine. Einfach nichts. Und ich habe auch gescannt. Nach dem weiten Schwung, um sicherzustellen, dass das Ganze kein Hinterhalt war, schmalte ich sogar meine Band ein und machte einmal eine detaillierte Analyse, nur um sicherzustellen, dass ich nichts verpasst hatte. Hatte ich nicht. Wenn ich sage, dass da nichts war, dann meine ich es ernst. Der seltsamste Teil? Als ich ankam, war der Vertrag von meinem Mobi verschwunden. Es war, als w\u00fcrde es nie existieren.\nInsgesamt gab es im vergangenen Jahrhundert vierzehn Berichte \u00fcber Piloten, die auf den Salomo und die Hilferufe seines Kapit\u00e4ns reagierten. Alle berichteten von einer \u00e4hnlichen Erfahrung: ein bed\u00fcrftiges Schiff, ein angenommener Vertrag und die Entdeckung eines leeren Raumes, der am Ende auf sie wartet.\n\nSERA MISAGARU: Zuerst dachte ich, es sei ein Trottel, der versucht, etwas Trauer zu verbreiten, also ging ich und kontaktierte das lokale Gildenb\u00fcro. Der Job war nicht angegliedert, aber manchmal h\u00f6ren sie etwas, wei\u00dft du? Ich fing an, ihnen zu erz\u00e4hlen, was passiert war, und der Vertreter nickte einfach. Sie kannten die ganze Geschichte. Es stellte sich heraus, dass es im Laufe der Jahre mehrere S\u00f6ldner gegeben hatte, die versucht hatten, dem Salomo zu helfen.\nDie Salomon, ein Schleppschiff im Besitz von Captain Laramy Stevens, verbrachte f\u00fcnfzehn Jahre lang ehrliche und flei\u00dfige Arbeit im Dienste der Gegend um Rytif. Dann, am 21. Oktober 2794, verschwand das Schiff. Wir sprachen mit dem ProtLife Insurance-Mitarbeiter Genevieve Atrella, um zu erfahren, was \u00fcber das tragische Schicksal der Salomonier wenig bekannt ist.\n\nGENEVIEVE ATRELLIA: Trotz allem, was diese Leute behaupten, wurde die Salomon 2794 zerst\u00f6rt. Das ist eine Tatsache. Unsere Aufzeichnungen zeigen, dass ein Bergungsschiff die salomonische Blackbox in einem abgelegenen Teil des Bremer Systems abgeholt und an die \u00f6rtlichen Beh\u00f6rden zur\u00fcckgegeben hat, die sie dann an uns \u00fcbergeben haben. Die Daten auf dem Flugschreiber zeigten, dass das Schiff mit Erz von einem entfernten Asteroiden-Minenposten zur\u00fcckkehrte, als es von nicht identifizierten Gesetzlosen angegriffen wurde. Leider wurden in diesem Fall nie Verhaftungen vorgenommen.\nNicht nur die Gesetzlosen wurden nie gefunden, auch der Salomo und sein Kapit\u00e4n wurden nicht gefunden. Jenseits der Black Box wurde noch nie eine Spur von dem Schiff oder Stevens entdeckt. Wie wurde die Blackbox vom Schiff entfernt? Wenn es angegriffen wurde, warum gab es keine Anzeichen daf\u00fcr, dass es dort oder irgendwo anders im System gab?\n\nGENEVIEVE ATRELLA: Ich pers\u00f6nlich w\u00fcrde nicht allzu viel dar\u00fcber lesen, dass keine Wrackteile oder Leichen geborgen wurden. Ich meine, vielleicht haben die Leute, die das Schiff angegriffen haben, es genommen. Vielleicht ist es weggetrieben. Vielleicht hat der Bergmann, der die Blackbox entdeckt hat, gelogen. K\u00f6nnte sein, dass ein skrupelloser Aasfresser zuerst dort ankam. Es h\u00e4tte viel passieren k\u00f6nnen.\nAber werden wir jemals wissen, was wirklich passiert ist? W\u00e4hrend dies alles fertige Erkl\u00e4rungen sind, hilft keine, die Quelle der Botschaften zu enth\u00fcllen oder warum sie Jahrzehnte nach Jahrzehnt weiter senden. K\u00f6nnte es sein, dass Laramy Stevens eigentlich immer noch versucht, um Hilfe zu bitten?\n\nTOLOMERE GEWINNEN: Ich glaube, der Salomo steckt irgendwo fest. Ich wei\u00df nicht, wo. Vielleicht im Zwischenraum oder so. Verstehen Sie mich nicht falsch, ich bin kein Wissenschaftler, aber ich wei\u00df, dass in diesem Vers mehr steckt, als wir mit eigenen Augen sehen k\u00f6nnen.\nTolomer Winsome, der \u00e4lteste lebende Mensch, der den unbeantworteten Schrei erlebt hat, h\u00f6rte die Botschaft 2843.\n\nTOLOMERE GEWINNEN: Ich bekam den Hilferuf und bin gerannt, genau wie jeder gute Mensch. Als ich dort nichts fand, konnte ich es nicht sch\u00fctteln. Ich fand heraus, dass es auch andere gab, die den Schrei h\u00f6rten. Jedes Mal eine andere Botschaft, andere Koordinaten, aber immer der Salomo und immer Captain Stevens. Seitdem gehe ich jedes Jahr zur\u00fcck, um zu suchen. Ich habe noch nichts gefunden oder die Nachricht noch einmal geh\u00f6rt, aber ich denke nur, wie es w\u00e4re, wenn ich so verloren w\u00e4re. Schaudert jedes Mal \u00fcber meinen R\u00fccken. Das ist es, was mich zum Schauen bringt.\nSERA MISAGARU: Ich bin jetzt ein paar Mal mit Tolomer ausgegangen. Normalerweise tun es auch ein oder zwei der anderen. Sobald man die Nachricht geh\u00f6rt hat, kann man sie irgendwie nicht mehr loslassen. Wir sind alle Menschen, die gerne anderen helfen, deshalb haben wir versucht, \u00fcberhaupt zu antworten. Ich dachte mir, dass es sich wahrscheinlich lohnt, f\u00fcr alle F\u00e4lle weiter zu suchen.\nUnd so geht die Suche nach dem Salomo weiter, w\u00e4hrend die Fragen wachsen. Viele haben angenommen, dass das Signal nur eine Art grausamer Witz ist. Aber warum machst du dir all die M\u00fche? Was gibt es zu gewinnen? Ist Captain Stevens wirklich noch da drau\u00dfen? Ist der unbeantwortete Ruf nur eine St\u00f6rung im System? Als Untold Tales zur\u00fcckkehrt, sprechen wir mit der Computerexpertin Johana Quint und sehen, was passiert, wenn jemand versucht, dieses mysteri\u00f6se Signal zu seiner Quelle zu verfolgen.\n\nJOHANA QUINT: Ich habe noch nie so etwas gesehen.\nDas und mehr, wenn Untold Tales zur\u00fcckkehrt.","zh_CN":"Every day, our understanding of the universe is reforged as new mysteries are brought to light, shifting our perception as readily as the grains of sand within an hourglass.
