Synopsis for "Unmanned (Part III of V)"
Agent 355 brings Margaret Valentine to Washington, D.C. to assume her role as president and Jennifer Brown hides her son Yorick in a bunker to keep him safe from a surprise attack at the White House. The widows of several members of Congress want to take their former husbands' seats to keep government functioning, but their plan is interrupted by one of the accidentally killing a hostage, resulting in a brief firefight that 355 and Valentine interrupt. Yorick makes an escape and reveals his existence to the group. Valentine assigns 355 to chaperone Yorick to Boston, where Allison Mann may be able to protect him and learn why he and Ampersand have survived a global gendercide of all Y-chromosome animals. In Israel, Yedida Tse'Elon carries out an aggressive campaign of regional domination against her Arab neighbors and gets a cryptic phone call from an unknown caller that informs her that a man is still alive in America.
