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.
PANDEMIC
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.
PANDEMIC
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.
PANDEMIC
I like the idea of Airlifting the Researcher to Baghdad just so I can screenshot the victory screen. Do we want to go through the discussion of using Forecast or should I just just use it so that Mexico City and Miami aren't in the first three.

I'm a scientist and I approve this message.

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.
The Forecast event is played and we were never in danger with only blue and red cards in the mix.
Then while eating at a cafe in Mumbai, someone says from behind her, "Ma'am you need to come with us."
She turns around to see two Indian military officers who have a Land Rover ready and waiting. "There's a situation in Baghdad," one of them say cryptically as they drive her quickly through the crowded streets.
They arrive at the airport and are allowed to drive straight onto the tarmac where a C-17 Globemaster is waiting, jet turbines already warming up. Minutes later she's on her way to Baghdad.
Meanwhile infection spreads in New York, Shanghai, and Taipei. Nothing is put on the brink, but the Medic shakes his fist at the red death.
The Situation:
PANDEMIC
Zhu Li, do the thing!

Share knowledge with the Dispatcher about Baghdad
Share knowledge with the Researcher about Riyadh
Realize I've always had the power, I just had to learn it for myself.
