Okay Blue this ones for you, since you're prolly the only one to read this. Btw no offense to any religion is intended here. All Gods and mortals are fictional and any resemblance is intended purely for entertainment.
Excerpt from the Elder Legends:
Long ago in a galaxy not so far away there was a God. He was a vengeful, angry God who was often disappointed by his creations. Several times He wiped a planet surface clean and started over with a select few mortals. This is the story of selecting a seed colony before one such cleansing..
God came unto Jaro and said, "Jaro my faithful servant. I have looked upon you and seen that you are good."
The power of his diety's words sent Jaro to his knees, where he remained as the God continued.
"Jaro, I will soon destroy all life on this planet with a Meteor of Doom, or a flood, yes a Great Flood. Prepare Yourself!"
The voice in Jaro's head was over-whelming, too huge to be contained it pounded and throbbed in every part of his being. Trembling Jaro managed a weak reply, "..wha? How?"
To which the God replied, "You will build a boat 40 cubits by 60 cubits by 100 cubits and gather all the species two by two."
Jaro was beginning to cope with the power of the voice but he was still trying to unravel the God's meaning as he waited for further instructions.
After an uncomfortably long time Jaro realized that the message was complete and that he'd better say something (as he was still a little fuzzy on the God's intent).
"um.. Great Lord? .. What's a turbit?? And where am I going to get two hundred of them to build a ship? .. Lord? ..What was that about 'gobbling the species blue by blue?' Shall I name the ship 'Blue'? And shall I build fleets of them to conquer other races?"
Gazing like a lost child into the blue vault of the sky Jaro remained on his knees until the flood waters took him to his final rest. The God had in the meantime gone to look for a less 'perfectly devout' seed with better hearing.
