I'm actually having the same problem at this moment. You do have to find RESCUE, and forge is on the right track. To be able to locate the ship though, I know that you have to solve the murder mystery and the art theft. Unfortunately I have yet to find the ship even though I'd thought I'd done both, so I'm obviously missing something.
I probably haven't totally completed one of them......I'm still figuring out how to do that. I know I've done every new mission computer mission available to me.
I've spoken with Alana once, but haven't heard from her since then.....so I still must have something left to do. It must be an empty hole in one of two required strings.
Ack. That's what I get for not playing for so long. Makes it so you have to figure it all out all over again. 
So Captain, I guess we both need help.
