Because of the sudden attack, the ship suffered a lot of damage that needed urgent repair. So instead of continuing the flight path as planned to its next destination, the Captain decided to halt the ship's advancement, and instructed the staff to commence emergency repairs all over the ship.
However, because the amount of damage on the ship was too much, there wasn't really enough for backup for them to get it back up to how it was, so they had called for help from the main branch, the Marpo Headquarters. In the response, the Captain was told they would send out a fleet to do repairs, but it would take a while for them to arrive.
