Voting discussion

Meanwhile, Léo and Teresa mess with the electrics. Suddenly, a frustrated Robson gets up and says “f*ck democracy” and leaves the control room.
Voting booth
The survivors all go in the oracle rooms and vote. Teresa then shows up on the screen and tells the survivors that no-one needs to leave and they need people to survive — she tells them to not listen to the congressman: “Fight together. Gain territory”. Levi is furious and looks for Teresa.
Fight!
