I saw the last half hour and it had a 60's feel to it, an air of inevitable doom; The end of life as we know it. At that time it could be the fear of a monolithic force such as the Soviet Union or the ever present fear of nuclear weapons. This could explain the simple notion of 'we are superior, you will be eliminated'.
I think an interesting twist would be for the research team to upgrade themselves to the point where they were equal then surpassed Andromeda. At this point they can start to contact the mystery messengers.
Life can react to an environment by changing it or adapting to it. The play focused on biogenetics, rejecting this nascent tech was conventional, embracing it would have been more dramatically satisfying.
