I'd like either Quarantine Specialist or Operations Expert.

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

Excellent! The brains trust is interested in either Quarantine Specialist or Dispatcher this game. If Megan goes QS we'll go Dispatcher, and if you take Ops Expert we'll do the QS.

Well, I know last time you said the Quarantine Specialist looked interesting so I'll take Ops Expert and leave the QS to the brains trust.

QS it is! We are ready with soothing mantras and a broadcast system that can be heard in the next city.

I'll take the Researcher so I can help get folks to five cards.

So we've got a Medic, an Operations Expert, a Quarantine Specialist, and a Researcher. Doing some randomness, the order is Medic, Quarantine Specialist, Operations Expert, and Researcher.

The world has a bad case of blue fever.

FYI, it's hard to see, but Atlanta has two blue cubes.

That's pretty good, all the worst spots are in walking distance. Who wants to collect Blue? I have Atlanta for the lucky recipient.

What a great draw all around.

Who wants to collect Blue? I have Atlanta for the lucky recipient.

I'm thinking I should since I have the blue furthest away. Montreal should be easy for me to pick up on my turn since the Medic can't get both New York and London anyway. I could treat Chicago on the way.

Yeah, I'm thinking I clear New York and end on Montreal.

Sounds good, I'll pass Atlanta to the Ops Expert before starting on my travels.
