Hey guys, I started the quest Familiar faces where cid has just taken me to Azys Ila by airship. I've started this quest (/lookout at places) and hit a duty, went to bed, got up this morning, returned to check my retainers etc, now i cant get back??

I haven't attuned to the aetherite as i didnt know there was one, i have liturally stepped off the airship and not been any further
friend has tried flying me up there, the gates in the pillars are closed and the guy who teleports you up there in pillars is not visable to me, although he is to others in my fc further down the quest line.
I have looked all over foundation for cid with no luck, cannot find an npc in either sea of clouds (hilltop) or foundation/pillars to take me back up

Help! I can't do anything with my char until I get there (
