Richardson wants Blackhawk to investigate because the official story of the crash was deemed pilot error. Blackhawk accepts the assignment. He has put together a crew which now includes Natalie Reed, Andre, and Chuck. Weng Chan has also agreed to join as soon as he can put together the money to get to Malay from the United States.
