They were just pointing out that there is a fair amount of damage - and that it would take perhaps some level of engineering or Jerry-rigging or something to get it back up and running. 

Perhaps it's only partially repairable, enough to restore a few power zones? Perhaps clearing out a few remaining goons, taking note of the damage and who it was caused by and then letting whoever know that the station is gonna be fucked up for some time and by whom?
