BARC-9726 "Jaybird"

*"I know that grief all too well. I generally tell people that its a part of war, to move on... It's a crutch- a way for me to shove away the parts of war that are depressing, the parts that really get to me. But that's me, hiding myself behind a wall called maturity. Truth is; that's not maturity. It's acknowledging this sadness, but knowing that dwelling on it will get you nowhere." -Jaybird*

## BIOGRAPHY:

**EARLY LIFE ON KAMINO:**

CT-9726 was born on Kamino, like any other clone, and was assigned to Dmitri Squad. He was bred as a clone medic, and therefore Dmitri was a squad of medics. They were trained by the bounty hunter Ungero Ansel, who practiced a religion known as Grahim-hvarkno. Ansel attempted to convert the members of Dmitri Squad to Grahim, and succeeded in doing so for every member but 9726. The rest of Dmitri Squad engaged in violent acts towards 9726, and went as far as to break his fingers on several occasions. Two-six, being a medic of relatively high caliber was able to fix these up easily. The day came where the squad had to overcome their final training, the citadel, and the performance of treating a broken arm in the middle of a large scale battle, respectively. They passed the citadel with flying colors, and did well on the medical test. Dmitri Squad was then shipped off to aid the 212th on Teth.

**SERVING THE 212th:**

CT-9726 and the rest of Dmitri Squad arrived at Teth with the goal in mind: To aid as many wounded soldiers as possible. 9726 focused particularly on troopers 4921 and 7106, the latter of which stated this, in regards to 26’s personality:

”You’re loud... but helpful. Like one of those jay birds.”

He liked that, and decided to take it as his nickname. The battle had ended after Jay finished fixing 7106 up, and they were immediately shipped off to another planet, Eyu-6. For this mission, Dmitri Squad were geared up in ARF armor and were equipped with AT-RTs. Their objective was to sweep the area of a battle zone and pick up any survivors. What they found was an AAT. It picked off three members of the squad, with the rest scrambling to blow it up. The sergeant, Reel, attached to the AAT via ascension cables, and per Jaybird’s suggestion, used his laser scalpel to cut a hole in the hull of the AAT and throw a det into its systems, disabling it. They finished the sweep and met up with their captain, who appointed them all as ARF troopers. Jaybird conversed with the captain, suggesting that they be shipped off to separate battalions as they weren’t well equipped to work together. The captain took note of this, as he saw the infighting between the group, and decided to move Jay to Enigma battalion.

**CRISIS ON ARKA-SAS:**

Jay, now ARF-9726, was deployed on the planet of Arka-sas, where he immediately had to treat a trooper, Footer, who had his foot caught on one of trooper Oya’karir’s traps. In the med bay, Jaybird began amputating the trooper’s foot. Corporal Dat began reprimanding Jaybird on this, saying that it was a lost cause. Jaybird was confused, because it was a minor foot injury. He talked to Sergeant Blizzard about this, and he gave him the go-ahead to continue working. Jay finished fitting a prosthetic leg onto Footer, and walked to the barracks, where he engaged in conversation with Corporal Dat and sergeant Jax, who appointed him to his squad, Litura. Dat, Jax, and Sergeant Wyvern decided to pull a prank on Jay where they pretended a monster was loose in the compound. After they revealed to him that it was a prank, Jaybird got really mad. He accepted their apologies after a while and went to sleep. A few days passed, and Enigma Battalion was ready to push forth. Jaybird and the rest of the men were fitted with Scuba armor, and launched a frontal assault. 26 didn't do much, but he assisted in administering medical aid to Dat, and took down a number of B1s, which he began tallying on his armor. The assault was successful, and Jaybird began treating a wounded Vulcrov. The battalion regrouped and were sent off into the void of space.
