One must always be careful of the most deadly creatures to be found in the Orion Spur of the Milky Way Galaxy. That’s why it is good to note that one of the most deadly creatures, which is also one of the most necessary to avoid, is the teenage girl just entering the mixed blessings of puberty. Mai Ling, pictured in this Aeroquest Science Fiction Public Service Warning Poster, is a particularly lethal specimen of just such a creature. At about thirteen years of age, she is possessed of not only deadly ninja skills, trained to fatal perfection, but also telekinetic Psion mutant skills. She can use her telekinesis to propel weapons in ways that weapons were never meant to be propelled at speeds of up to GOLLY GEE WOO-WOO WOW THAT WAS FAST!!! If she shoots at you with the slug-thrower pistol she often carries, you are not only merely dead, but literally most sincerely dead because even if she misses you, she can redirect the bullet into whichever vital organ she wishes, and being the age she is, that probably means something in the highly sensitive and highly embarrassing personal middle area. She can also bang you dead pretty effectively with any stone she decides to pick up and fling. Her left arm is sheathed in accelerating electro-magnetic Gauss-effect armor that will turn a stone into faster-than-the-speed-of-sound projectile capable of blasting its way through the walls of the boys’ shower room. You dare not cross her. Don’t challenge her authority. And, for goodness sake, don’t make comments on handsome young members of boy bands, because you never ever can anticipate which one she will be in love with this week… er… today… er… this minute.
