Clarkson Survivors

"*It's just like what your son said: **we're the Clarkson Survivors**,*"
—Edwards to Andre Mitchell[src]
The **Clarkson Survivors** were a survivor group formed in *Season 1*. Consisting of the US trip group from the UK, the group took refuge in the Clarkson High School, a high school in the city of Upswitch. After a year of surviving at the school, the group made a fateful journey north to find a new home. The group serves as the centre of the story in *Season 1* and was the first iteration of Edwards' Group.

## Pre-Apocalypse

The group that would become the Clarkson Survivors all knew each other before the apocalypse, having studied at the same school as each other in the UK and largely growing up together. They all decided to participate in an exchange program in the United States, and, following the outbreak, they no longer considered one another friends, but a family.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 1

#### 'Friend Or Foe'

Four months following the outbreak, the group have made themselves a home in the Clarkson High School, now having a guarding rota and supply run schedule. However, due to the vast number of walkers in the city, the group have been unable to make many successful supply runs and have hit the last of their food reserves.

#### 'A Long Road Ahead'

One year after the outbreak, the Clarkson School is beginning to decay; several parts of the building that were already heavily damaged have fully collapsed, and more damage has been done by walkers and the bandits that are seeking revenge for the deaths of their friends.
