---SPOILERS---
Do not continue unless you've read the show...or, if you don't care about being spoiled, read on!
~We cut to the TRIAD owners room where it appears TLS and PIC are debating the results with the TRIAD Geek. Leo stands by, looking terrified~
MoMo: Hey guys! Willie ‘MoMo’ Peterson out here with a scoop on tonight’s voting results. Apparently some alleged ‘hacking’ took place...based on the video we all saw...or that’s the accusation, anyway. I’m told the owners are hashing it out now.
~TLS is animated. PIC is concerned. Leo remains clothed and afraid~
MoMo: Report I received is that the Hackerman was immediately removed after his segment aired and all they found on the computer when they removed him was a google search on ‘how to use incognito mode’. I’m told he’s computer illiterate...so he’s not the source, if there even is one.
~TLS exits the owner room, visibly frustrated. PIC shrugs and leaves, head down, clearly frustrated, albeit in a less bombastic manner. Leo remains behind~
MoMo: It looks like a decision has been reached...and...yes, I’m told that the results are going to stand! Sahara is receiving two points! Marx will get 1 point. And, Nickleman leaves with zero points! Word I’m hearing is the results went viral and there would be too much damage if they backtracked and did another poll without concrete proof hacking took place.
~Leo exits and looks around, nervously before giving a fist pump to a dark figure hanging out nearby. MoMo tries to land a visual but the man vanishes. Leo puts his hands in his pockets and walks up to MoMo~
MoMo: Leo...what was that?
Leo: It’s crazy out there, MoMo. You saw the video...we think someone got ahold of our video software and played a prank on us. The code to the voting looks clean and untouched...it’d take someone extraordinary to get in there and mess with things without leaving a trace.
MoMo: Well, I mean…
Leo: I get it, MoMo. It’s been a tough night for us all. Our strength is being tested but the results are final. I’m going to draw a hot bath and listen to the Gladiator soundtrack. Take it easy.
~Leo leaves~
MoMo: What’s final is final...but the silence around that image we saw in the video is concerning. We’ll see where this goes...regardless, the final results are official...so, let’s take a look at the standings. Sahara is now tied with Cortes with 5 points in Team Welsh while Dickie Watson and SEB are tied in third with 2 points apiece. Marx gets on the board with Team PIC as he sits one behind Dionysus, who is in third. Dadbod is in second with three points and ALIAS leads the division with six. And that leaves Nickleman with 0 on Team TLS. Meanwhile Knox, Mancini, and Adams are all tied with two points to lead the division.
~MoMo takes a deep breath~
MoMo: Which means Triumvirate leads the overall competition with 16 points. Team Welsh is in second with 14 points. Team PIC is in third with 12 points. And Team TLS, while having an improved performance, still trails the pack with 6 points. We’ll see you all on Night 7..we’ll see you all for Tears of Ta Prohm!
~We fade out~
