Part 1: A photograph of the Leiston Fortress taken by Dorothy reveals the ship that took Professor Russell from the Carnelia Tower.
It's too soon to form any viable conclusions from this, but visiting the Leiston Fortress does seem like the best option right now.

Part 2: Taking all evidence into account, it seems highly likely that the professor is being held against his will at Leiston Fortress.
We boarded the factory ship in an effort to infiltrate the fortress and get him back. It won't be easy, but we'll give it all we've got!

Notebook

Part 1

• The Leiston Fortress can be found northeast from here.
• We met with Major Cid, but he wasn't a whole lot of help...
• As we were about to leave, the fortress gate suddenly went dead. Is this an orbal blackout?
• Seems like the Black Orbment is hidden within the fortress walls.
• As per Dorothy's photograph, the professor must also be here.
• We can't even stow away on a ship, due to the biosensors.
• Luckily, it seems the professor invented a jamming device. Let's go get it from his place!
• The device is in his study on 2F.
• Got the Detector Jammer! Let's hurry back to the guild!
• Received Leiston Fortress Map. Let's head to the landing port!
• Off to Leiston Fortress, then!

Part 2

• We'll be arriving shortly. Let's stow ourselves in the cargo hold!
• We're in! Let's check out the northwest research wing first.
• Some soldiers are standing guard. We'll need to sneak by...
• We saw Professor Russell through a window at the research wing!
• Let's take out the guards at the door and rescue the professor!
• We took care of the guards!
• We were reunited with Professor Russell and reclaimed the Capel!
• We've been discovered?! Crap! Let's hurry to the landing port!
• The landing port's been sealed! We'll need to find another way!
• Had a run-in with the sky bandits in the command center basement.
• Someone's calling out to us. Let's see who it is!
• It was...Major Cid?! He showed us a secret passage. We escaped!
