Philips paced back and forth waiting on the away team to give the next progress report. Vanessa was on the station and Philips was on edge every second she was away. He checked the mission time. 30 mins had passed since they reported on the general condition of the station. He knew they would be trying to get as much information as possible. With portable power units to provide the energy that they would need, getting the computer core on line should be easy enough. He worried that whatever caused this situation to begin with was still a standing hazard. He would have loved to have sent a security team first to clear the station and then the away team to gather info, but that was not the way things were done out here in space. On earth as a cop, Police would have cleared the station then sent in mission specialist to collect the needed data. After all, it wasn't going any where.

So he continued to pace.... Moment later came the next report.

It would seem that the team had things under control and might be returning soon! Philips was somewhat relieved but would not rest easy until she was back on board the ship.
