==Background==
===Early Life===
In the year 2270, Abby Adams was taken in as a squire by the Brotherhood of Steel. Born a child of the wastes, Abby's early life was marked by the harsh realities of survival, with the absence of her parents and the constant struggle against starvation. The Capital Wasteland, unforgiving and desolate, became her only companion.
However, Abby's fortunes took a turn when the Brotherhood of Steel extended a hand to her, offering a new chapter in her life. Embraced by the order, she found solace within the ranks of the Brotherhood. 
Life within the Brotherhood, marked by discipline and camaraderie, offered Abby an environment where her innate potential could be nurtured.

The Brotherhood's ethos of technology preservation, combat prowess, and a commitment to a greater cause would have become guiding principles in Abby's formative years.
===Point Lookout Expedition===
In the tumultuous year of 2276, Abby Adams, then 19 years old, played a pivotal role in the Point Lookout expedition as a member of Squad Hermes under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Hermetic Order. Adams was recently ordained as a journeyman scribe with expertise in cartography, she was assigned as the Way Finder of the mission, tasked with guiding the squad through the treacherous swampy terrain. Embarking on her inaugural field mission, she was determined to prove her capabilities and demonstrate that she possessed the skills required for the task. 
Unbeknownst to Abby Adams, the full details of the reconnaissance mission were withheld, as the squad leader deemed it impractical to disclose extensive information to his Squad. Instead, she was briefed on her role: to aid in charting courses for Brotherhood mapping and reconnaissance, essential for forthcoming expeditions.
During the expedition, the members of her Squad found themselves overwhelmed by the hostile swamp folk, that pushed them into an encounter with swamp ghouls resulting in a devastating assault that claimed the lives of half the squad. Despite taking injuries herself, Adams, she shouldered the responsibility of leading her comrades home following a brutal assault by the swamp folk, navigating dangers with a resolute sense of purpose.
===Return to The Citadel And Recovery===
In the aftermath of the ill-fated expedition to Point Lookout, Scribe Adams endured a harrowing ordeal—her right arm lost to the relentless onslaught of monstrous swamp mutants. Upon her return to the Citadel, she embarked on a journey to reclaim her lost capabilities.
In the sterile halls of the Citadel's medical facilities, Abby underwent a transformative surgery, where skilled hands integrated cutting-edge cybernetic implants into her anatomy.
As she adjusted to the rhythmic whirr of her prosthetic, Abby found newfound strength, both in her rebuilt physicality and unwavering resolve. The metallic limb, adorned with intricate details and adorned with the Brotherhood's insignia, became a badge of honor, a visible emblem of her courage in the face of adversity. And though the horrors of the swamp mutants may have left scars, Abby Adams emerged from Point Lookout as proof of the resilience of flesh and steel.
For the next few years Abby dedicated herself to the diligent labor of a Scribe. Within the intricate lines of maps, she discovers a semblance of control—a realm where every contour, every topography, obeys the order she imposes.
