As the name would suggest, there's nothing special about this warrior. With
finals on the horizon, I didn't have much time to work on a Round 9 entry so
I just put a mod-4 stone in front of a 5 point, 3 layer imp spiral... I did
a little with the constants to try to keep the stone from killing any of the
spiral's processes, but I never suceeded in getting the spiral to survive
with all 15 processes intact. 

The spiral is taken directly from Jay Han's makeimp. As far as I can tell,
the only real difference between my entry and Beepe's is the step size for
the bomber and the configuration of the spiral (I use a 5 point 15 process
spiral while he uses a 7 point 16 process spiral).

Before you run this with "pmars -8 ..", I just wanted to point out that
I had to change this line to

bomb   dat    #0, #12

to conform with ICWS'88.
