Stewart's Final Assignment

It's finally happening. I'm a bit nervous, but I think I'm going to do okay. I have a team...about three or four of my fellow Junior Sprouts are joining me. They're pretty talented, too. One's planning on being a Base Operative, so he probably won't actually be entering Albitrunca with us, but he'll be on the COMMS. There's gonna be one girl, too. And another kid, I think. They're all around my age. I know they're excited about it. I just...I just can hardly believe that this is it. Soon, after this is over, I'll have to do my Final Shadow. I just...it's all so bittersweet, you know?   Don't focus on all that right now, Stewart! It's going to be fine. That'll come when it comes, and you'll see Someone and Constance again after that anyway. Commander McCox said so. Focus on Albitrunca..the rumors...   My mind can't stop stirring when I start thinking about all the Formicidae Formations. We're going to be right there in the center of it all! I wonder if I can uncover any more W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. secrets down there...no. I shouldn't. I shouldn't do anything that could compromize my ability to pass this test. Stay focused, Stewart! You got this.
