I think we should try everything we can to get a cure on the Scientist's turn. I don't like the odds of surviving much longer than that.

Alright then....let's take the path that treats a city and gets her a card:
Dispatch myself to Cairo
Pass the Cairo card
Move to Algiers
Treat Algiers once.
Gud, Do the thing!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

For that to happen I need to draw a Black card on my turn. For which purpose I'm happy to contrive to end my turn in Cairo, assuming that's possible.

The Dispatcher meets up with a Russian pilot in a Bangkok bar and arranges to hitch a ride on an Antonov An-22 destined for Cairo. There she meets up with the Scientist in the backroom of a Museum serving as a sanctuary from Zombie infestation. She hands over a dossier on a Russian zombie study in Cairo that she nicked from the Antonov. After that, she takes a bus to Algiers to hunt down a few zombies, as one does.
Then she draws Baghdad (Black) and Paris (Blue). Meanwhile the red death spreads in Taipei and COVID emerges in London.

The Braaainns Trust and I have a proposal: We discard Jo'burg to move there and clear it out, then double hop it to Cairo, ready for the Scientist to pick our braaainns. If we should happen to draw Black - about a 50/50 chance, I think - then that would give us the Black cure. Airlift would also do it.
How does that sound?

Another city off the brink and in ending in Cairo is great.

Let's go.
Discard Johannesburg to move to Johannesburg. One must give up what one seeks in order to find it.

Double move to Cairo. Story of my life, constantly trying to hang with the cool kids. But once they have the cards they want they always leave.
