"Today you're going to Naboo," Anakin told the class as he ate the last of the Bavarian donuts he'd stolen from yesterday's teachers meeting. "It's a Mid Rim planet just before the Outer Rim sectors, but despite its location, Naboo has been a political powerhouse in recent galactic politics. Naboo is a geologically unique world in the galaxy: a plasmic molten outer core surrounded an inner core, believed to be composed primarily of a nickel-iron alloy, with very small amounts of some other elements. These elements are found in abundance in other chemical compositions in the galaxy, but it is the unique properties of the plasma which interested astrophysicists, plasma which the two primary civilizations harnessed to supply clean and efficient energy highly valued throughout the galaxy," Anakin explained. "The plasmic magma seethes and bubbles from the center of the planet carving labyrinths of winding tunnels and caverns similar to lava tubes of traditional magma flows. Much of these abyssal labyrinths were submerged in great underground oceans, which were home to immense aquatic animals and creatures that were never seen on the surface, but you'll see some today. Animals such as the colo claw fish, opee sea killer, sando aqua monster and others inhabit this underworld realm. Gungans dominated these underwaterways, using them as a highway of sorts between their surface Holy Places and their underwater cities. The Gungans also used these tunnels for trading between Bubble cities. You'll see some Gungans, too, ones who are a little less irritating than Senator Binks."

Which wasn't hard, Anakin's tone added.

"Humans also live on Naboo, primarily in the lake country or near the capital city of Theed, which in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful places in both of our galaxies. You'll spend some time there as well." He gestured to the portal. "Off you go."

Taking a rebreather, you must swim into the Lianorn Swamp and reach the Gungan city located inside of it. The Gungan at the city's gates will hand you your next clue.

This could be a very long road block if you don't know how to swim...

Okay, Barry totally knew how to swim. He really did.

But he spent way too much time swimming around the Gungan city examining the technology that was used.

Emma...knew how to dog paddle.

Kind of.

It took her a while to get the hang of this one.

Alana knew how to swim just fine. In a pool, like a civilized person. Working around all the stuff in a swamp was new. she tried to go extra-fast so she wouldn't have to think about the gunk getting on her skin.

Swimming was...not Nathan's strong point. Not at all. And having trouble with the rebreather just compounded it. He managed to stay afloat and not die but he was way behind because he could not swim.

Oy. She managed through sheer force of will, but did not enjoy the process. Swimming. Not something she'd ever really had cause to do before.
