*Neither the DropShip nor the BattleMech featuring in the story are described in any great detail. The DropShip is clearly a spheroid design. The 'Mech is a bipedal humanoid design with a "head squat on broad shoulders", armed with at least two lasers and described to possess "fists" clutching weapons instead of five-fingered hands. Its type cannot be conclusively discerned from the image featured in the story.<br />The BattleMech in the image going with the story partially resembles a ''[[Black Knight]]'', particularly [[Chris Lewis]]' [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/File:3050U_Black_Knight.jpg illustration]. However, the narrative description does not precisely match any known variant of the ''Black Knight'', and the publishing year predates Chris Lewis' illustrations in ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]'' or ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade]]''. *Neither the DropShip nor the BattleMech featuring in the story are described in any great detail.
