So the mission is called Shadow of Steel. I get flown on to the mothership of the brotherhood of steel, after talking their elder (main commander) I'm instructed to go back out to the flight deck and speak to Paladin Dance.

I come out and his character isn't anywhere. I go to every deck on the ship, no Dance, I go to the airport where the brotherhood is, no dance, he's not even back at the police station.

Anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? More importantly, I really hope this mission isn't crucial in a line of missions to completing the game, because I have no idea where Dance has gone!
