Sure. London won't go off again unless there's an epidemic, and even then there isn't a chain reaction set up right now. I'm still feeling good we avoided Algiers outbreaking.

PANDEMIC

The Medic heads to New York and meets up with the Ops Expert in a bagel shop, and shares pandemic response information tailored to The City. Then the Medic catches a commercial flight to Heathrow on a Virgin 787-9. Once there, he treats all of London and all is well.

Then he draws Osaka (Red) and an event!! Airlift!

Meanwhile the Blue Fever fails to spread in Chicago thanks to the QS, but it does spread in Paris, putting the city of lights on the brink.

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

Ok! Shall I head to Hong Kong and iexude my soothing presence over Eastasia, with which we have never been at war? I can dock one cube in Manila or HK in the process.

I think I would dock Manila since you can dock HK as you are sitting on it. It will also make taking care of Shanghai in the future less risky. Of course, you could first head to Shanghai and dock it instead, but I think it makes sense to cover all three now. And, in any case, you cover more empty targets in HK.

I agree. Head to Manila, take a cube off, and settle in Hong Kong sounds good.

Let's do it.

Double move to Manila
Treat one cube to an ice cream
Move to Hong Kong
Blast protective whalesong over the most heavily populated real estate on the planet. Their lack of infection will be matched only by their lack of sleep.

By the way, Ryan noticed that if we spend Airlift on the Ops Expert's turn, we could end said turn with a research station in Algiers and a Blue cure. Worth it?
