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.

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.

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

I think you're right; the only thing that'll stop us now is an epidemic in Karachi or Delhi. So!

Right! Let's see what we've got.

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?

I say we play whatever we have.

I like it. We can Airlift the Medic to Miami and wipe it out. We can then use Forecast to make sure nothing bad happens. However, I don't think there is anything that can cause a problem at that point.

Cool! Certainly we want to play Forecast, that's pretty much the game. Airlifting the Medic to Miami likewise. Alternatively, if anyone really, really wants to make sure the computer recognizes our victory, you could airlift me to Baghdad so the Scientist can plunder Riyadh. For added emphasis.
