The young Kat Yamaguchi’s unseen Hunchback moved with a careful grace born from a decade of practice in secret. While not the heaviest Battlemech in the Inner Sphere, the Hunchback was a weapon terrible beyond its size. The massive autocannon mounted on the `Mech’s left shoulder rendered the `Mech’s circle-vision strip a vital necessity: without it, the pilot was blind on that side and vulnerable.

The strip still gave Kat a headache, even after all these years. His Hunchback was perhaps not the best maintained of `Mechs; but what it lacked in technological elegance was compensated by its pilot. The Hunchback fetched up gently against the building near which it lurked, its flat black armor adorned only with a set of golden-yellow cat’s eyes. The heavy ferrocrete would shield Yamaguchi’s hunchback from attacks, from magnetic resonance, and from thermals. Only direct line of sight would allow an approaching `Mech to notice his presence, and by then… by then, it would be far too late.
