~~===UNSC~~ ''~~Jamaica~~''~~===~~

According to the ''[[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 ''[[Jamaica]]''. However, a problem with his [[cryo chamber]] caused him to be thawed out in the middle of the slipspace jump, a decade before the ship was to arrive at its destination. 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 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—while his story became the stuff of legend.<ref name="fractures">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[The Ballad of Hamish Beamish]]''</ref>
