Synopsis for "Unmanned (Part II of V)"
Two months after the global death of all other males, Yorick and Ampersand have traveled by foot to Washington, D.C. Yorick disguises his features by wearing a hooded cloak and a gas mask and carries Ampersand in a cage while the pet wears a diaper. He meets a young woman driving a sanitation truck, collecting the bodies of the dead that have been littering the streets and bringing them to a mass crematorium in exchange for food. Due to Ampersand's shenanigans, Yorick loses his mask and the woman is startled to see a living man. Rather than feeling compassion however, she places him in handcuffs with the intent of bartering him to a radical feminist organization known as the Daughters of the Amazon.
Meanwhile, Agent 355, having returned to the United States, goes to the home of Secretary of Agriculture Margaret Valentine. It is her duty to inform Valentine that through the Constitutional rites of succession, she is now the President of the United States.
Meanwhile, Yorick escapes from the handcuffs and manages to get to the White House and reunited with his mother. Congresswoman Jennifer Brown is overjoyed to see that Yorick is still alive, but also has to tell him that his father is dead. Yorick had been hoping that whatever mysterious factor that enabled him and Ampersand to survive might have saved his father as well.
Without warning, the windows of Jennifer's open explode inward and glass and debris fly everywhere. Jennifer and Yorick as the sounds of gunfire can be heard from outside.

- First reference to the Daughters of the Amazon. The Daughters make their first actual appearance in issue #4.
- The sanitation driver who appears in this issue is named Waverly. Her name is revealed in issue #53. Yorick refers to her as a "bring-out-your-dead chick" in this story. This is likely an allusion to a character played by Eric Idle in the 1975 comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Idle's character, credited only as "Dead Collector", wandered through the plague-ridden streets of medieval England shouting "Bring out your dead!"
