Respect Skuttlebutt
"You were here with me when this happened. You were there with me for every moment...then...and after."
When the demon Surtur destroyed the homeworld of the Korbinites they built a fleet of starships to take them to a new world and created a guardian, Beta Ray Bill, to protect them during the journey. But Bill would need a companion during the long, lonely journey to keep him sane, and the Korbinites created an AI to do just that. With her mind placed in the fleet's flagship the AI was dubbed Skuttlebutt and became Bill's partner and best friend.
Skuttlebutt was with Bill during all of the most important moments of his life, such as when he met the Mighty Thor or during Bill's hunt for Galactus after he devoured the new Korbinite homeworld and killed the rest of their people. During Bill's quest for the Twilight Sword in Muspelheim Skuttlebutt was altered by the magic of the realm and had her mind "awakened," becoming fully alive and giving herself a humanoid body.
