Remind me, did we decide the Researcher was going to get my Monreal card? I can't get both London and Algiers but I can make it back to New York.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I think we had agreed on the OpsEx going to Montreal and ending in NY to get NY on the Medic's next turn (Medic could also still treat London on that turn so the Researcher could get Algiers by chartering a flight from Los Angeles).
However, if we think London/Algiers is more pressing, the OpsEx could burn Mexico City to jump to Madrid/Paris, build a station, and treat either Algiers or London with the Researcher getting the other without using a card.
I sort of lean toward keeping the plan and collecting blues only because the potential outbreaks are fairly easy to clean up at this point, especially if we cure blue early. Remember the OpsEx can build wherever so I don't have to worry about getting back somewhere for a cure.

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

The Quarante is good with keeping to the original plan. If we all scatter to do treatment, I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get everyone lined up again for sharing Blue cards.

Yeah, ending on NYC so I can pass the card on my way to London sounds good.

Ok, presuming this plan is okay with the Researcher...
Double move to the Great White North
Grab Montréal from the Medic
Head to NY to get a real bagel
(That's right, I said it.)
and await the Medic

The Researcher approves this plan.
The Ops Expert takes a bus to Chicago and then boards a train for Montreal. He stops at the bar in a Mariott next to the airport to meet up with the Medic and get the lowdown on the public health situation in the city. Then he hops on a Jazz flight to New York on a Bombardier CRJ900 and gets a real bagel.
The Ops Expert then draws Manila (Red) and an event One Quiet Night.
I feel I should ask if we want to use On Quiet Night even though I'm pretty sure the answer will be no.

Agreed. Better to save it for a possible future crisis.
