It seems like I've found you new companion to do researching with, while I will be sending someone for Blacksmith.
Your new companion, or to be exact colleague and even perhaps friend is be man known as Chenzo, Ghosts of Razgriz or 101st special operative. Do not worry, he's good, he will treat you as his closest.
You should contact him so you could see where would you meet, I am suggesting you to use Ibiza for meeting, and then straight to Amanecer.
About the mission, continue where you've stopped and do not worry about Blacksmith, I have somekind of feeling that he is okay. Chenzo is noted about the mission and you will find out why I've chosen him.
Do it straight away, there is also another project waiting for you two fellas after you're done with this mission.
Safe skies my friend.
