How does Hera make it out?

Dive

*splash*

Hera opened her eyes, and found herself deep in some murky black water. Pushing herself upwards, she surfaced her head above the water, breathing once more. A few stormtroopers hit the water beside her, but their armor caused them to sink below. She was grateful she didn't share their fate, at least.

Hera circled, trying to get a scan of the area. To her relief, there was a harbor just a few feet away she could swim to. If she made it there, she could contact Kanan and get back to the Ghost. "Though," she thought, "I'll have to get there like... this." She suddenly became very aware of her state of undress, shivering in the murky water. The dock was bustling with passengers and sailors, and she'd have to make it past them without a stitch of clothing on her body. She shuddered at the thought. Was she really okay exposing herself like that? Maybe she'd just wait for Kanan to pick her up in the Ghost, though she had no idea how long that would take. Looking up, the vessel was nowhere to be seen, meaning it had likely gone offworld, she reasoned. She groaned. Her best option, whether she liked it or not, was getting to that harbor.
