several members of Shadow Company operate inside their AC-130 Spectre Gunship callsign Shadow-1.Graves walks along the fuselage, giving orders to his men. Three crew members stand by a 105mm cannon and load a round inside the tube. A fourth gunner loads another round into the rack.

Graves:Loaders, get your rounds in the can.
