\\Cut Content Restored and Female Pronouns for SHODAN in logs and Emails (SHEDAN)//
------------------------
By Katrina (Kelis98/Xkilljoy98)
Version: 1.6
Created using HackEd/InkyBlackness
----------------
//Mod Features\\
----------------
- A verson of the game with cut audio logs, emails, icons, and enemies restored (Restored cut enemies currently not featured in combat, only viewable with an in game log explaining things (in Level 4: Storage) this is planned to change with future versions).
- A version of the game with Female Pronouns for audio logs and emails by and mentioning SHODAN since in the original game her pronouns as used by other characters is inconsistent, this changes it to make the logs and emails better fit with SHODAN's voice acting/character and System Shock 2 (this currently only affects text and not audio, and currently changes the english text, this is planned to change with future versions).
^ * This mod comes in both base log and proper log versions
- A version of the game with both cut content and female pronouns for logs and emails by and mentioning SHODAN (both of the previous limitations apply to this version as well).

||Q&A||
-------
Q: Isn't there a theory to explain the pronoun inconsistencies?
A: There is, the trans SHODAN theory and the theory that not many interact with SHODAN directly, they are interesting theories and ones that I do think about if they could be true, this mod simply adds an alternative/addition to those explanations and for those that don't just want to brush it off as development changes and want to see it in game. The real-world reason for the whole pronoun thing is likely due to changes during development that were not fully updated upon release.
