I'm not quite sure how canon the Ballad is, what with the whole 10-year journey or eating nails to stay alive, but there's really no harm in keeping it for fun's sake.

However, a problem with his [[cryo chamber]] made him awaken in the middle of the slipspace jump. With little resources at his disposal, he kept himself warm by shaving and burning his own hair, and ate his own nails to not starve. Many years of such lonesome and gruelling existence caused Beamish to lose some of his sanity. After ten years, the ship finally arrived at Circinius IV. Medics subsequently tried to help Beamish, with little success. He became the janitor of the Corbulo Academy shortly afterward.<ref name="fractures">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]''</ref> | ||
