Abigayle "Abbie" Singh was one of the last surviving members of the Free States.
Background[]
Abigayle Singh was a member of the Free States, the last surviving member when the Vault Dweller discovers her bunker. She entered her bunker at a young age along with her father Niraj, brother Calvin, dog Dax, along with three members of the Cohen family, including Daniel Cohen. Her mother, Geneva, was already deceased before they entered the bunker. They all would ride out the Great War in this bunker.
Many of her terminal entries located in the bunker described the difficult living conditions stuck in the bunker, especially on her mental health.
When the surface was hospitable enough, Abbie and her family left the bunker in 2079 and began to explore Appalachia along with the other members of the Free States, although they mainly stayed around the Mire region. At some point, Dax disappeared, and Abbie figured the dog was dead and blamed it on Calvin.[1]
Her father heard a message from Raleigh Clay about survivors attempting to rebuild life at Harpers Ferry, which the Singhs and Cohens agreed to. Although Abbie was not keen on the idea of going to Harpers Ferry, she worked briefly with Ella Ames in her clinic there, working alongside Martha Clay as well, but resigned due to social difficulties dealing with the Responders.[2]
Ella was studying deathclaw feces due to their radiation properties and named their droppings "bone meal." With the help of Abbie, Ella was able to develop a tracker to help her find the bone meal.[3] A paper note indicates that Abbie was known and respected by JD Sunday and Jesus Sunday.[4] Abbie offered to repair a broken radio belonging to Delia Webb for free. She also knew R. Fields and expressed to them about considering going south to Watoga.[5] Unfortunately, in 2086, Harpers Ferry was attacked by a massive Scorched outbreak and their work on rebuilding the town was lost.
To combat the Scorched, her father began to work on a system called the Scorched Detection System (SDS) which her father instructed her on once she was old enough and in case of his death. Suffering from Parkinson's,[6] he eventually died, along with Calvin.[7] The Cohens were killed by the Scorched. In late 2095, Abbie would eventually become one of the main contacts of the Free States to the Responders and the Brotherhood of Steel, with Maria Chavez curious about what the Brotherhood's cryptic message "Defiance has fallen" meant. As a result, Maria sent Abbie a woman through the Savage Divide to check on her, with unclear results.[8]
Being one of the last surviving members of the Free States, and the only person that knew the SDS inside and out, Abbie set up a series of recordings for any survivors to finish what the Free States started. She noted that at some point, she was certain everyone that she knew was dead; she regretted all her time working on the SDS, feeling that life would have been better if everyone simply stayed in their bunkers, as it meant they would at least be alive and she would not have to deal with her crushing loneliness.[9] She was unable to finish her work on the SDS, so she packed up a bag and went to the Top of the World to find Hank Madigan's uplink, although there is no evidence Abbie found it as it is still in a cache in the basement of the Pleasant Valley Ski Resort and Rose does not mention meeting Abbie, leaving Abbie's fate unknown.
The Vault 76 residents pick up where she left off with the Early Warnings quest.

Notable quotes[]
- "You took me away from my friends and my life all on your stupid promise that things were going to be fine! That this was best! And is it? I can't do this on my own. I don't want to do this on my own. I just want things back the way they were. I miss my mom... and my dad. You guys are supposed to be here."
- "Howdy stranger! Er... oh god, I can't believe I said that. This is stupid. You're all alone. No one to hear, no one judging... and you can't say a simple line. Great."
- "Hey there...! Survivor? Bleh, equally terrible. Welcome to my humble bunker where we're all dead! By the way, how about you do a crap ton of super dangerous work that I promise you is worth it? You're on board, right? Of course you are, because the fate of humanity depends on it! And my work here is done!"
- "Greetings, stranger! Now, don't panic. My name is Abbie. I'm not your enemy, and this isn't a trap. In fact, if you're hearing this... it means I'm not even alive."
- "You're officially halfway done with the final part of this process. I mean... It's not like I'll ever really know... but one can hope... right?"
- "Beyond that, the only ones with any real means were the Brotherhood of Steel. Obviously, they didn't last, but they packed some serious fire power. They took their last stand somewhere in the Bog at a place called Fort Defiance, but, thanks to their code names, I have no idea where it is. You'll want to start at Camp Venture, Eddie's old Survival Training Center. Good luck out there. And thanks. If this holotape is playing, it means our lives and all this work meant something. I've also put everything I've got on the Brotherhood under an entry called Fort Defiance on my terminal."

Abbie originally had a supply runner named Vivie Steinbeck whose body could be found in Watoga. However, Vivie's corpse was removed in a patch in early 2021, thereby also removing a note that mentioned Abbie. The reason for the removal is unknown.
