PANDEMIC
The Dispatcher talks a pilot into a ride on an ancient Lisunov Li-2 to Cairo, uses anti-zombie sprayâ„¢ to take the edge off the zombie hoards, then hitches a ride in an Egyptian Army Mil-26 helicopter to Baghdad, once there she remotely arranges for the Scientist to take the Orient Express to Baghdad.
The Dispatcher then draws Chicago (Blue) and Moscow (Black) and needs to discard a card. (Currently has Chicago and Paris (Blue), Buenos Aires and Miami (Yellow), Bagndad and Chennai and Moscow (Black), and Sydney (Red))
PANDEMIC
I fear I've lost my interest in beachfront property.
Discard Sydney.
PANDEMIC
...picking up.
Then COVID spreads in New York (1), San Francisco (1), and London (2).

Looks like we've reduced all the 3-cube cities except Mumbai. Researcher, how do you feel about some more zombie-hunting?

Yes, Mumbai is Resilient (god I wish that showed up somehow on the board) but I think it is worth taking off a cube if only in case of epidemic. Otherwise, I'm not sure anything else can stop us before my turn.
(knocks on all the wood in reach)
PANDEMIC
Yeah, with Forecast and Airlift we can avert a lot. Unless the Epidemic city is a zombie one, we can clear it out before we even draw an infection card.
PANDEMIC
I think you're right; the only thing that'll stop us now is an epidemic in Karachi or Delhi. So!
Triple hustle to Mumbai
Saaave our braaainns
Right! Let's see what we've got.
PANDEMIC
The Researcher goes on a journey from Cairo to Mumbai in a Ford Tri-Motor while someone draws a line on a map from Cairo to Riyadh to Karachi to Mumbai while the Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack plays in the background. Once there she shots down a bunch of Zombies with her trusty Webley revolver.
Then cards are drawn... Riyadh (Black) and... an Epidemic strikes in Miami.
Do we want to play an event card or two before moving on to infections?
PANDEMIC
I say we play whatever we have.
