Assume the Big Rip scenario is true. Then, at some point before the end, as organic molecules get torn apart by the expansion of the universe, life (as we know it) will become impossible.
Tell the story of a civilization of intelligent life approaching these End Times. Their scientists have calculated when the universe will end, and as the date approaches, distant galaxies wink out (redshift), then stars, outer planets drift away... Perhaps there is a mad scramble to develop technology to eke out a few more years of existence; much soul-searching: why has God foresaken us? What of the Covenant never to send another Flood?
