UTC, which was like 10 a.m.

local time before we had confirmed that there were speedboats coming straight towards us and we saw soldiers with like guns just trained on us and we knew that we were being intercepted once again.

I, during both times of being kidnapped, was so weirdly calm

When you're being actively intercepted, the calm route is the best one because you want to minimise the risk.

So when this boat became charging towards us, I was like, okay, it's game time.

Let's go.

I've been through this before.

I know what's about to happen.

So when these soldiers are like yelling through a microphone that they're going to intercept us, if we don't comply, they'll shoot.

This is something I've been through before.

I know I'll get through it again.

Hands up, follow orders.

You just be as compliant as possible and you get through it.

I was seated on the rib just looking at this man who was just staring straight back at me.

And I was just like, cool, whatever.

You're terrifying, but I'm not going to show that.

And then they take you to this...

It is indescribably large, this prison boat that they have.

It is apparently semi-aquatic, according to those that have really good nautical experience.

So it actually was hard to detect because it could change the way it appeared in the water.
