According to ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]'', Beamish aspired to become a cadet at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] at a young age, and embarked on a [[slipspace]] voyage to [[Circinius IV]] onboard the automated transport vessel {{UNSCShip|Jamaica}}. However, his [[cryo chamber]] malfunctioned, causing him to be thawed out in the middle of the slipspace jump a decade before the ship was to arrive at its destination. With no spare cryotubes available and few resources at his disposal, Hamish kept himself warm by shaving and burning his own hair, and ate his own nails to avoid starving. Many years of such lonesome and gruelling existence left Hamish mentally disturbed. After ten years, the ship finally arrived at Circinius IV. Medics subsequently tried to rehabilitate Beamish, with little success. Finally, he was given the job of janitor at Corbulo Academy—the only work he was deemed suited for. Despite attaining short-lived fame, his story was eventually forgotten about by the academy's cadets.<ref name="fractures">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]''</ref> Much of these events are based on Hamish's own recounting and are unreliable due to his questionable sanity.<ref>[https://twitter.com/franklez/status/881921242344771584 '''Twitter''' ''- Frank O'Connor response to if the Ballad was canon.'']</ref> | According to ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]'', Beamish aspired to become a cadet at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] at a young age, and embarked on a [[slipspace]] voyage to [[Circinius IV]] onboard the automated transport vessel {{UNSCShip|Jamaica}}.
