Synopsis for "Cycles, Part II"
After flying off of a moving train,[1] Yorick Brown awakens in a modest home in rural Ohio, being attended to by Sonia. Agent 355 has a concussion and tells Allison Mann to leave her to recuperate and find Yorick as soon as possible.
In Boston, the Daughters of the Amazon hunt down a woman who has information about a man wearing a gas mask. The group violently interrogates as many homeless as they can to get any intelligence on him, leading Hero Brown to confirm that her little brother is still alive.
Sonia introduces Yorick to the entire town of Marrisville, a functioning community made up of 67 women who have managed to keep electricity flowing and grown fresh food in spite of the gendercide. Some of the residents are non-plussed to have him there, including Lydia, a matriarch who has been self-sufficient since she was a teen. Allison arrives and gets a small party to fetch Agent 355. While they are out, several of the townspeople confer about the danger posed by outsiders.
