PANDEMIC
The medic hitches a ride on a C-17 Globemaster to San Francisco where he cures all the disease. Then he hitches a ride on a cargo ship to Tokyo and takes one of those awesome Japanese trains to Osaka where he knows a guy who can arrange for a research station overnight as long as you don't ask any questions.
Then he draws Sydney (Red) and Buenos Aires (Yellow). Meanwhile, the Blue Fever spreads in Chicago getting serious, but not critical. However, things become critical in Algiers where Zombies are poised to overrun the city.
The Situation:

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

The QS does the thing and cures the Zombie plague.
Then she draws Istanbul (Black) and Beijing (Red).
Meanwhile, zombies continue to spread in Baghdad, putting the city on the brink, and the Blue Fever makes a comeback in San Francisco.

So, what should I do after curing blue?
I could just cure Paris and Algiers or I could build somewhere along the Istanbul-Mumbai corridor to help others get in and out of there. If I build on Baghdad or Mumbai, I could cure them.
Another option would be to head to Manila to hand off my Manila card to either the Researcher or Medic.

Paris and Algiers seems best for now...pity we don't have a Dispatcher this time.

Algiers popped off last round, so it's safe at least until the next infection. (I think we'd have time for the Medic to claim the Researcher's Seoul and take out Algiers too.) Mumbai could go at any point though.
We of the quarante like the idea of you popping over to Mumbai for buildage and curation. I think that'd mean every current danger point on the map would be no more than two moves from a research station.

Good point. I'm bad at remembering what just went and what is in the draw pile. In my own games, I look at the discard pile constantly. Also, Algiers really only affects two other cities whereas Mumbai hits three. Baghdad hits five but, at a minimum, I could get that my next turn. Not that we want to want that long since we have a good chance at eradicating black as is. Gud, thoughts?

I like the Mumbai plan. Things are looking a little scary in central Asia.
