Thank you, SMLatCST. I will not have physical access to the machine until Monday, but I do know that a Hardware Configuration for this specific laptop model was already created within the install package and included the USB 2.0, USB Handoff, and IRQ Poll options.
Once the machine is returned to me, I will run the recovery utilities but I'm not 100% certain that the drive finished encrypting before this happened.
As an additional note, the system was working fine until it was shutdown and attempted to turn back on.
