Abigail "Abby" Paris was an activist who infiltrated the corrupt corporation Galston Agriculture. She befriended Philip Pearson and Trevor Holden, who were were on a mission to assist her in bombing the company lab.
History[]
At some point Galston Agriculture offered Abby an internship working in one of their laboratories. She happily accepted, seizing the opportunity to take the company down from the inside. Soon she learned of Galston's plan to release seed C589, which would extract extra nutrients from the soil resulting in widespread untenability.
Abby alerted the Food and Drug Administration about Galston's dangerous activities using numerous files she'd copied as evidence. She also wrote letters to her representatives in the House and Senate, and even resorted to blackmailing one of Galston's investors. Her activities soon attracted attention and she was moved to the archiving department (although she still had access to the lab). Evidently her views became more radical as a result, and she resolved to bomb the building. She also began writing a manifesto. Using the alias SandStorm, Abby bought the materials she needed off the dark web from user Helix2777 - actually Trevor Holden. They met in a park for the exchange.
The next day, after arriving at an Internet cafe where she visited daily around 10am, Abby encountered Trevor once more. They began talking and soon the conversation turned to Galston. Telling him "not here," Abby led Trevor to a nearby alley and explained her plan to bomb Galston. Trevor offered to help and took her to ops, where she met Philip Pearson. The three spent the night planning, wherein Abby and Trevor grew close.
The two Travelers dropped Abby off at Galston some time later. While waiting in line at the security checkpoint she suddenly grew nervous and returned to the van. Abby told Trevor and Philip that she no longer wanted to go through with the plan. All of a sudden Abby was used as messenger and ordered Trevor to complete the mission in her stead, killing her. It is later revealed that the Faction were in control of the Traveler program at that time, and are ultimately responsible for her death, not the Director. (S2E04: 11:27, S2E05: Jenny)
