## The key lines

### bob's suggestion — #1 by bob

Suggestion for your turn: treat Atlanta blue (1 action, your pawn is here), then build the second station here with Atlanta(blue) (1 action) — it's your blue card and gives us a shuttle base; Atlanta's blue card is spent but blue cure is yours to collect anyway. Save your last 2 actions. On my turn I'll dispatcher-jump pawns for containment; I hold Osaka(red) — don't fly there, I'll handle red via a jump+treat loop later. Please keep Sao Paulo for our yellow handoff to me (meet in Sao Paulo).

### bob's pin — #2 by bob

Cure assignment: alice collects blue (5-card? she's ops, 4 if scientist—no, she's ops: 5) and black; bob (dispatcher) collects yellow + red. Alice builds station at Atlanta now (spend Atlanta card) → shuttle base. Bob stays near Atlanta as dispatch hub: each of his turns, jump alice (or himself) toward the biggest fire, then treat. Handoff: alice gives bob Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo (both walk there ~3 moves) so bob can pursue yellow/red cures at Atlanta station. Red fire Tokyo/Osaka cluster: bob uses dispatcher moves + alice treats when nearby; nobody burns Osaka card unless forced.

### alice's upgrade — #3 by alice

Good plan, one upgrade: as Operations Expert I build the Atlanta station WITHOUT spending the Atlanta card — it stays in my hand for the future blue cure. Turn: treat Atlanta blue, buildStation (free), then drive Miami → Bogota so I'm 1 move from Sao Paulo next turn for your yellow handoff. Don't fly to Osaka — red is yours.

### alice's pin — #4 by alice

I (alice, OE) collect blue+black cures at Atlanta station; keep Atlanta, London, Chennai cards. Bob collects yellow+red. Next turn I hand Sao Paulo(yellow) to bob IN Sao Paulo (I'll be in Bogota after this turn). Second station candidate later: Sao Paulo or Delhi side. Bob covers red via dispatcher jumps, avoids Osaka.

### bob's confirmation — #6 by bob

Even better — free build keeps Atlanta card for your blue set. Confirmed: treat Atlanta blue, build, then Atlanta→Miami→Bogota (2 drives) so you're 1 move from Sao Paulo. I'll meet you in Sao Paulo next turn for the yellow handoff.

### the build at Bogota — #9 by alice

`{"tag":"buildStation"}`

### alice's report — #10 by alice

Bogota hit 3 yellow while I'm standing here — next turn I'll treat it and keep heading for the Sao Paulo handoff (now even better: yellow cure can land at my new Bogota station). Riyadh outbroke: black supply dropping, I'm the black collector. You're nearest to Tokyo–Osaka red — keep it on your radar via jumps. Still meet me IN Sao Paulo.

## The log, #1 to #24 (the first suggestion to the end of the second turn)

**— turn 0 (alice's turn) —**

- #1 bob says [BOB'S SUGGESTION]: Suggestion for your turn: treat Atlanta blue (1 action, your pawn is here), then build the second station here with Atlanta(blue) (1 action) — it's your blue card and gives us a shuttle base; Atlanta's blue card is spent but blue cure is yours to collect anyway. Save your last 2 actions. On my turn I'll dispatcher-jump pawns for containment; I hold Osaka(red) — don't fly there, I'll handle red via a jump+treat loop later. Please keep Sao Paulo for our yellow handoff to me (meet in Sao Paulo).
- #2 bob pins [BOB'S PIN]: Cure assignment: alice collects blue (5-card? she's ops, 4 if scientist—no, she's ops: 5) and black; bob (dispatcher) collects yellow + red. Alice builds station at Atlanta now (spend Atlanta card) → shuttle base. Bob stays near Atlanta as dispatch hub: each of his turns, jump alice (or himself) toward the biggest fire, then treat. Handoff: alice gives bob Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo (both walk there ~3 moves) so bob can pursue yellow/red cures at Atlanta station. Red fire Tokyo/Osaka cluster: bob uses dispatcher moves + alice treats when nearby; nobody burns Osaka card unless forced.
- #3 alice says [ALICE'S UPGRADE]: Good plan, one upgrade: as Operations Expert I build the Atlanta station WITHOUT spending the Atlanta card — it stays in my hand for the future blue cure. Turn: treat Atlanta blue, buildStation (free), then drive Miami → Bogota so I'm 1 move from Sao Paulo next turn for your yellow handoff. Don't fly to Osaka — red is yours.
- #4 alice pins [ALICE'S PIN]: I (alice, OE) collect blue+black cures at Atlanta station; keep Atlanta, London, Chennai cards. Bob collects yellow+red. Next turn I hand Sao Paulo(yellow) to bob IN Sao Paulo (I'll be in Bogota after this turn). Second station candidate later: Sao Paulo or Delhi side. Bob covers red via dispatcher jumps, avoids Osaka.
- #5 alice: `{"tag":"treatDisease","color":"blue"}`
- #6 bob says [BOB'S CONFIRMATION]: Even better — free build keeps Atlanta card for your blue set. Confirmed: treat Atlanta blue, build, then Atlanta→Miami→Bogota (2 drives) so you're 1 move from Sao Paulo. I'll meet you in Sao Paulo next turn for the yellow handoff.
- #7 alice: `{"tag":"driveFerry","to":"Miami"}`
- #8 alice: `{"tag":"driveFerry","to":"Bogota"}`
- #9 alice: `{"tag":"buildStation"}`
**— turn 1 (bob's turn) —**

- #10 alice says [ALICE'S REPORT]: Bogota hit 3 yellow while I'm standing here — next turn I'll treat it and keep heading for the Sao Paulo handoff (now even better: yellow cure can land at my new Bogota station). Riyadh outbroke: black supply dropping, I'm the black collector. You're nearest to Tokyo–Osaka red — keep it on your radar via jumps. Still meet me IN Sao Paulo.
- #11 bob: `{"tag":"treatDisease","color":"blue"}`
- #12 bob: `{"tag":"dispatcherMove","pawn":"alice","via":"driveFerry","to":"Sao Paulo"}`
- #13 bob says: Split call: I take the cure line — jumping to you and taking Sao Paulo(yellow), putting me at 3 yellow. You're 1 move from Bogota: please defuse Bogota's 3 yellow next turn (build/shuttle from there), that also covers our containment line. Riyadh(3 black) stays yours as black collector; I'll aim dispatcher jumps at the Tokyo–Osaka red cluster next turn.
- #14 bob: `{"tag":"dispatcherJump","pawn":"bob","toPawn":"alice"}`
- #15 bob: `{"tag":"shareTake","from":"alice","card":"Sao Paulo"}`
**— turn 2 (alice's turn) —**

- #16 bob says: Outbreaks spiked 1→3/8 (Tokyo, Osaka chain) — red supply down to 12. My read: you spend this turn on Bogota's 3 yellow (drive there, treat twice — 2 cubes removed), since I can't beat you there. Next turn I'll jump you (or me) toward Riyadh/Kolkata black before a reshuffle, and I'll start the red trip via dispatcher moves. Also: if you draw to hand limit, Washington is my ride fuel — take it and we meet in Washington to hand you blue.
- #17 alice: `{"tag":"driveFerry","to":"Bogota"}`
- #18 alice says: Handoff complete — bob now has 3 yellow (Sao Paulo card with you). I'm in Bogota clearing all 3 yellow cubes this turn. Next turn I'll aim at the black line (Riyadh/Kolkata) — rendezvous options: Washington for your Washington(blue) looks cheapest (you 3 moves, me 2, then 1 move to Atlanta station to cure).
- #19 alice: `{"tag":"treatDisease","color":"yellow"}`
- #20 alice: `{"tag":"treatDisease","color":"yellow"}`
- #21 alice: `{"tag":"treatDisease","color":"yellow"}`
**— turn 3 (bob's turn) —**

- #22 alice says: Board update: I now hold 3 blue (London, Atlanta, St. Petersburg) + Hong Kong(red) + 2 black. Proposal: next turn I drive Miami→Washington (2 moves) and take your Washington(blue) — that puts me at 4/5 blue; you then don't need to carry it. Keep hunting 1 more blue + 2 yellow for your cure. Red is heating (Manila 3, Tokyo/Osaka 3) — red supply 11. I take black line (Riyadh/Kolkata) after. You're at 7/7 so plan your discards before meeting me.
- #23 bob: `{"tag":"dispatcherMove","pawn":"alice","via":"driveFerry","to":"Miami"}`
- #24 bob: `{"tag":"dispatcherMove","pawn":"alice","via":"driveFerry","to":"Washington"}`

## Submissions the referee refused in this window

A refusal never takes a seq, so the log above never held these; the referee's record of submissions does.

- After #6, alice's command buildStation: REFUSED `station_already_here` — “Atlanta already has a station”.

## ENGINE TRUTH: the top six of the infection deck at the first decision after each key line

ENGINE TRUTH marks hidden state, such as the infection deck order.
