Meanwhile on the planet Alcea

It was not the first contact that the great Admiral Hephesto had had in those weeks with the other two prominent forces in Alcaea. While the Asgardians did not question any of the history, the incredible story that Hephesto told them, they were enchanted by the story of a world with magic, other races, green, and more, with the prospect of a brutal space battle, the empire was different. Hephesto had to deal on the one hand with the Pharaohs, and since their non-militaristic policy questioned everything that deviated from their future plans, and on the other hand with a Navy that had been cornered for some time, losing power with each year of peace, Military leaders were quite skeptical of Jahve's story but embraced the issue of a global threat as a way to vindicate themselves.
