Chorral Isle, located 800 kilometres Southwest of Miral, Neo Aequatius

Francis Baker drove along the Northern coastline in his dark red rental Porsche roadster as he took another look on the GPS driving aid, he noticed that his position was not far from the island's only major airstrip, Halder Field, and he took the car off the main road and to the shoulder as he came into view of the airfield. The sun had gone down about thirty minutes prior, so his actions were covered with darkness as he began to set up a small GPS position marker and linked it to the satellite hovering far above. He was a First Lieutenant for one of the Aequatian 7th Airborne Division's Pathfinder platoons and was marking the position for one of the parachute battalions that were currently inbound from Ericsson Air Force Base outside Desedna. He donned his digital woodland uniform complete with a boonie hat and tactical vest with his M2 Carbine's ammunition magazines before making his way South to meet up with the other members of his command squad. His night observation goggles made seeing the terrain easy as he marched through the underbrush towards the rendezvous point.

OOC: From this point on, if anyone would like to take ownership of the island or make a claim that it is theirs, they can. This will be an airborne assault and occupation (Along the lines of Operation Just Cause in 1989 Panama).
