You have a very keen eye, Leonesaurus. Two gold stars for the good man!

Those characters do refer to the Admiral as a "he." However, I can assure you this is not a bug. I don't want to post any spoilers for those who have yet to play the main scenario missions and may happen to stumble on this thread, but let's just say the discrepancies between Admiral "he" and Admiral "she" have something to do with a certain ability your player has that rhymes with...er..."gecko." The phenomenon is further explained in the following main scenario quests, starting with "Fade to White."

Enjoy!
