"The Mate worried that the Geologist would have no face."

I know that she's worried about the geologist's lack of a face and how that would affect the mission, but this sentence also might imply that she was worried that it might have lost its face in the incident. It's the "would have." As if she was about to discover whether it did. Maybe something like:

The Mate worried that the Geologist had no face.

I like the exclamation point too. It's not hard to see why it's there.
