Hi Josh,
I got a lot of the idea when I saw you mentioned Star Trek was an influence. I'm just amused at Vincent's observation about how petty it gets in the process, which is more human and more interesting than Star Trek's sanitized versions of exploration and cultural contact.
This is also true of how petty decisions do stuff like start wars, cut off medical treatment for thousands, begin terrible disasters due to budget cuts and rushed engineering, etc. The banality of evil, etc.
