“You are correct. I have worked extensively with servitors throughout my existence. You might also say that servitors were my purpose in life at one point.” Strange chittered in amusement. “What do you need me to do, Ras? I am at your service.”

Strange tilted his head at Rasputin as he observed the gesture. They had known each other for years but had never had any physical contact with each other. Not wanting to be rude though, Strange hesitantly wraps all four arms around Rasputin.

Placing a comforting hand on the other's shoulder, Strange followed their gaze up. "Your faith is comforting, friend. The Great Machine watches over us even if we do not see it. It brings warmth to my heart to meet another of faith."

Having found a badly damaged servitor near their bunker, Strange rolls it home and calls out to Aͣᴇʟʟᴀ,̓ {Moved2Bsky!}. "Aella! You got a free moment? I need a hand!"

"Hey Aͣᴇʟʟᴀ,̓ {Moved2Bsky!}, will you assist me with a bunch of servitors that I just found? We'll have to be careful though... They're a bit .....twitchy."
