Yep, yep, yep, you can't get the card from the Researcher if the Dispatcher bamfs you to Bogota. That was a bad idea.
I think the Tokyo move is good, but getting to three yellow cards is good too. Maybe it's best to remove the possibility of a double outbreak. The Dispatcher can always move the Researcher and Scientist together if needed, so getting more yellow to the Scientist shouldn't be too hard.
PANDEMIC
Yeah, I think the double-three in Asia needs to be taken care of quick. also, once we've all drawn a few cards, we'll have a better idea where I should be moving people for best effect.
(Also, why do I look like one of the boyband members from Final Fantasy 15?)
Anyway, If I hear no other suggestions, I'll head to Tokyo and treat once. last call?

Should we wait for the Dynamic Duo to weigh in since they go next? Not sure how you were dealing with the time difference previously.
Waiting, basically.
PANDEMIC
To weigh in with my thoughts: especially with my turn being right after the Dispatcher's, it's going to be very easy to pass my Yellow card(s) to the Scientist, even at a future date. If it's a choice between the Jo'burg handoff and the Bogota handoff, I suggest make Bogota happen, because that hand-off probably can't happen later on (not so easily, at least). If you go with that, I'll make the trek to Tokyo to defuse it myself. On their turn, the Scientist could burn Beijing to get to Seoul.
PANDEMIC
So that would mean on this turn the Dispatcher:
1) moves to Bogota (2 actions)
2) moves the Scientist to Bogota (1 action), and
3) "shares knowledge" with the Scientist, giving up the Bogota card (1 action)
Correct? Just trying to get a handle on how much is possible on one turn.
PANDEMIC
Yep, those would be valid orders.
PANDEMIC
I like the Bogota plan. With the Dispatcher in the game, getting together with the Researcher will be really easy.
PANDEMIC
OK, then. I will:
Double move to Bogota
Dispatch Scientist to Bogota
Pass Bogota card to Scientist
Hit it, Gud!
PANDEMIC
It has been hit!
The Dispatcher gives the Scientist a drink in an Altanta bar and the next thing she knows the Scientist is waking up in the back of a refurbished Douglas C-47 flying to Bogota. Once there the Dispatcher takes the Researcher to a nearby town where despite exposure to the yellow plague nobody has succumbed to it.
The Scientist gains Bogota and then the Dispatcher draws Buenos Aires (Yellow) and Shanghai (Red). Meanwhile plague spreads to Bangkok and Mumbai.
The situation:
The Researcher is up next...
