Mary had a Stinger LAM, Its thruster drives aglow. She bolted through the atmosphere To close upon her foe. She loosed a laser on her prey In challenge of a duel. It made the Cheetah bank away. The pilot was no fool. And so the Cheetah turned about To close upon her rear. To try to knock her engine out. But Mary did not fear. She pulled maneuvers like a pro To meet him eye-to-eye. All Iasers fired, a cockpit blow! She tore him from the sky. -- "Manic" Mary Maddigan Mary Had A Stinger LAM is a 31st Century adaptation of a previously revised 20th Century poem of simiIarname. "Manic" Mary Maddigan has placed herself in the title role of this somewhat violent remake. The depiction of Mary's piloting skills are less than accurate. With over sixty kills accredited to her record, Mary Maddigan has become an accomplished pilot at the age of twenty. "Manic" Mary is a member of Lawson's Lucky Ladies, a mercenary 'Mech land based on the Marik-Periphery border.
