[edit] Plot summary
Presented with the opportunity, Number Six runs for election to the post of Number Two. He was promised to meet Number One if he won. Number 2 encourages him to run, giving him a foreign speaking woman to use for assistance. She can not speak english, but communicates with number 2 in a non-verbal fashion as well as using some non distinct phrases. Both men campaign for the office, with Number 6 offering freedom if he is elected. He eventually wins, but not before he is drugged and coerced into believing he is part of the Village. As he and his assistant go to the dome, he collapses, and it is revealed that the assistant is the operative. Number 2 heads off the island and gives his regards.
