PANDEMIC

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.

Doooo eeeet.

PANDEMIC

(previously on 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.

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.

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.

Cure the zombie plague
Profit?

PANDEMIC

The Scientist meets with the Dispatcher and Researcher in an underground conference room of the Baghdad research station. Above, Zombies have penetrated the perimeter and begun to form a writhing, undead pile, gaining height at terrible speed until they crawl onto the roof and break through a skylight, bypassing the reinforced doors and barred windows of the floors below.

In the conference room, the lights flicker and blink out, replaced by the dim glow of battery-powered emergency lights, gunshots and screams can be heard through the ceiling. Security personal and scientists scramble in the halls to barricade the stairwell doors.

The Scientist, keeps her cool, calming the others, and asking questions about what the Dispatcher and Researcher have heard and seen about the zombie outbreaks in the surrounding city and in Riyadh. Suddenly, the Scientist leaps up from her seat and starts listing facts from each of the afflicted cities. She starts to draw lines, linking the words, making connections and realizes she's known the answer all along. Without saying anything to the others she rushes off to the lab next door and saves the world.

Huzzah! A beacon of hope in these troubled times.

Thanks again to Gud for running the game. It was, as they say, a corker.
