One night, Thomas comes into the shed mid-way through insulting Percy when Percy interjects and challenges Thomas to take his train by the river the following morning. Thomas keen to show him gladly accepts. Next morning, Percy meets an engine he's never seen before called Rob who works up at Vicarstown. Meanwhile, a win picks up and covers a sign that tells engines not to go down an old line. Thomas, having never seen it before misses the sign and travels down the old line after a points failing.

S1,E5 - James and the Branchline

## Plot

Following the events of Worn Out, Edward was out of commission at the works. As such, The Fat Controller dispatched James to cover for him on the branch. At this time, there was a period of big ships arriving at Brendam carrying a mixture of goods for nearby towns to Brendam as well as renovations to the Clay Pits there. Due to this big shipment, the Scottish Twins were also sent to help. James and the Scottish twins did not like to work alongside the diesel working on the branch - BoCo, James in particular bitterly protested it. After some long days of hard work, James was able to take a passenger train with some lovely coaches. He was sent out on a detour line he wasn't as familiar with that goes along the coast of Brendam. Meanwhile, Edward returned from the works and met with Thomas at Wellsworth. Upon hearing James was on that line he was unfamiliar with and that he hadn't arrived at Brendam yet, he rushed after him. He found him stranded, derailed and close to sliding into the sea. Edward pulled him to safety. James later apologised to Edward for all the horrible things he'd said about him and the branchline.

S1,E7 - The Twins and the Diesel

## Plot

It is September 1965 and the Big Shipment at Brendam is coming to a close. James returned to the mainline after the events of Episode 5 leaving Edward, BoCo and the Scottish twins to handle the shipment. Douglas speaks to Thomas in the yard and reassures him about his accident in the previous episode. After BoCo passes and Douglas is rude to him, Thomas tells him that BoCo has been critical to the running of the railway and that they'd be struggling without. Later, The Fat Controller informs Edward, BoCo, Donald and Douglas that the Scottish Twins are to pick up a long goods train from the Harbour to finish off the big shipment bound for Crovan's Gate. The twins insult BoCo as they prepare to leave for their train. BoCo arranges their train at the harbour and confides in Duck and Henry who tell him he has to keep trying to win their trust since they won't listen to them.

Later, the Twins arrive at the Docks to take the train and insult BoCo once again as they leave. They go a while and make good time until they reach Gordon's hill. When trying to climb the gradient, Donald breaks down leaving Douglas not strong enough to pull the train. As such, BoCo is sent to help them. The twins don't think he'll be able to them but BoCo proves them wrong and redeems himself to them. They reach Crovan's Gate early all thanks to BoCo. They talk to Skarloey for a while when Skarloey calls them out on praising BoCo leaving the twins with a lot to think about. That night in the sheds, the twins realise BoCo isn't such a bad sort of engine which is high praise from the Caledonian Twins. James steams in trying to convince them BoCo is tricking them but is told to shut up and promptly leaves.

BoCo

## Bio

BoCo was built in 1958 at Bowesfield Works (Manchester), England, with the rest of his class. For a period, he and his class were the latest diesels, said to be efficient and versatile. However their class begun having problems. They had a number of issue of breaking down and overheating regularly. BoCo discovered his name with his closest friend, D5701. BoCo was D5702, but to his friends and colleagues he was BoCo. When BR was fed up with the breakdowns in 1962, they called all the remaining Class 28's back to the workshops. They tried to find what was wrong with them, however instead of permanently fixing them, they relocated them all to Barrow In-Furness. Before they left, BoCo's brother, D5701, had a nasty incident. He overheated, but it went further, his engine caught fire within. They put out the fire, but most of his engine had already burnt up. Instead of trying to repair him, BR scrapped him. BoCo was shook by this and was very upset. He worked at Barrow pulling much more slower and shorter trains. There he met a new friend, D5703, he'd named himself after his old driver, Jonathan. The two became firm friends had helped BoCo to move on. In 1965, a goods train to Isle of Sodor was due to go, but none of the other class 28's wished to go due to steam engines. BoCo volunteered and left for sodor. He arrived and had a headache-making encounter with some twin yellow tank engines called Bill and Ben. The Fat Controller ended up purchasing him and gave him a complete overhaul, new engine, new brakes and lots more. BoCo no longer had any malfunctions. He was completely fixed. He arrived on sodor to find hostile steam engines. The smaller tank engines accepted him as well as a few larger engines. But Gordon, James and the Scottish Twins needed convincing. BoCo supposedly saved Gordon's life from Bill and Ben which left Gordon in eternal gratefulness. He rescued the Scottish Twins on Gordon's hill who then accepted him into the fleet. It took some time, but when BoCo proved James wrong, James realized that BoCo was a kind engine and accepted him as a sudrian engine. BoCo now works happy as can be on Edward

## Personality

BoCo is a kind, friendly diesel - one of the few. He works on Edward's branchline and has earnt all the engine's trust. He is hardworking and never gives up, and knows his place and never boasts of his achievements. He is a fully redeemed engine, always striving to work his best. He's had some run-in's with certain engines, and has had to prove himself on numerous occasions. However he's always risen to the occasion and shown he is a true enterprising engine of the NWR.

Donald

## Bio

Donald is the number 9 of the North Western Railway. He often works with his brother Douglas, the two are twins and have always been together, ever since they were built. They worked on the Caledonian railway together in Scotland for many years through to the Railway Act and were absorbed by the LMS. The two stayed in the region in the Scotland all the way up to British Railway's formation in 1948. They befriended many engines over their time including a standard 3mt called Jones. When it came to 1955, many of their friends were being scrapped or withdrawn to be replaced with diesels. In 1955, Donald was bought by one Sir Topham Hatt and was to work on the North Western Region of British Railways. However, Douglas was supposed to be scrapped, but Donald wouldn't allow it and smuggled him with him to Sodor. They caused all manor of confusion when there, with the Fat Controller wanting to send one twin away. In the end they proved their worth in the snow and the Fat Controller went to the mainland without telling them to legally purchase Douglas. The two primarily work on the mainline but do any odd jobs assigned to them, often being transferred to any of the Branchlines or aiding in constructions projects.

## Personality

Donald is hardworking and honest, but can get agitated at times, especially from a certain Bill and Ben. He puts his work ahead of his comfort and takes pride in it too. He is very capable of tackling any train and works wonders in the snow with his brother Douglas. As stated, Donald can get particularly agitated sometimes and will tell and engine just what he thinks of them. He's prone to picking on some engines such as James or Duck and is the more chipper and bouncy of the Scottish twins. Aside his temper, he is caring and is one of the most determined and hardworking of engines on the island.

Crosby

Shot from S2,E2 - Runaway

## Geography

Crosby is located towards the South-West of Sodor, and isn't too far from the coast. The town is very small and quite close to the Viaduct/Wellsworth. There aren't any railway facilities here aside from 2 sidings and some sheds to store goods. The town is home to a cotton factory where most of the locals work which is what a lot of its export is. However, on the outskirts of Crosby, sources of coal have been found and the idea of a coal mine being built there is a likely possibility.

## History

Crosby station was built in 1914 as it was originally intended to be an extension of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway. After the company built the viaduct, it had intended to stretch to Crosby as it's new terminus. However, the viaduct project bankrupt the company and they didn't have the funds to finish the station. They laid tracks and has begun the platform before being bought out by John Topham Hatt who subsequently finished off the station as part of the rail-uniting-scheme; the scheme where engines extended the lines of the former E&K, W&S, S&M to one another. It has stayed relatively the same since its construction aside from when the siding that passes through the platform was extended down the line a little as an overflow siding. During the Sodor blitz of 1940, a bomb struck the rear of the station taking out the platform bridge. It was repaired a month later.
Alfred

## Bio

Alfred was an engine who used to work on the NWR. He is an GER S69, later LNER B12 and his number is 98462. After being built in 1911, he came across to Sodor with his close friend 87546 in 1914 to help build the railway. His friend 87546, later named Hawin was a very close friend of Alfred and helped him out in his early years on the GER. He worked on the new North Western Railway from 1914 and handled mixed traffic duties and shared the express with Hawin/87546. He had several rivals such as Luscious and Gordon and nasty arguments with Geoffrey. He left Sodor in 1923 due to an incident he had to take the fall for involving Luscious. He would return to Sodor in 1939 to help with the war effort where the echoes of his past continued to haunt him. He would again leave without a word in 1945 when the war ended. He continued to work in Stratford for a while but would move around to places such as Grantham, Ipswich and Norwich.

## Personality

Alfred is a gentle quiet engine most of the time. He is strong and hardworking but can get angry at those who don't see sense and isn't afraid to tell someone just what he thinks of them. Despite his temper sometimes, he is loyal and kind. He is quite proud of his work and holds it very dearly. He's been through a lot of homes and friends and by the early 60's was on the verge of being scrapped and avoided most engines.
Gordon

## **Bio**

Gordon is the number 4 of the North Western Railway. He pulls the main express known as the WildNorWester. He was built in 1922, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, as a prototype design for Gresley's Famous A1 Pacific class. He proved successful and his class was nicknamed "A0's". After his trial was complete and his tests proved well, he was no longer needed by the GNR/LNER and was sold to Sir John Topham Hatt in 1923. He later arrived on Sodor in April 1923 to pull the railway's main express after its originally intended engine, Henry, was not able due to his flawed design. He is the fastest engine owned by The North Western Railway and he is very proud of this. When Gordon first arrived he did not get on with some of the older engines who'd been previously working there such as Alfred, Geoffrey and Luscious. He would eventually get along some of these engines but not all. He established a firm friendship with Henry and Edward in his early years and then later forming an alliance with Thomas.

## **Personality**

He is a well-respected member of the NWR fleet. He is proud, sometimes boastful, hard working and kind. He always strives to complete his work safely and on time. Sometimes his pride can get the better of him, and cause him to loose concentration of his work (more often than not leading to an accident) but in the end he can see the error of his ways and strives to be a better engine. Gordon is one of the mainline's dominant engine and has set the record for the fastest non-stop run from Knapford to Barrow which he holds very dearly. He has often taken engines under his wing to help them out, such as Percy and James.

Douglas

## Bio

Douglas is the number 10 of the North Western Railway. He often works with his brother Donald the two are twins and have always been together, ever since they were built. They worked on the Caledonian railway together in Scotland for many years through to the Railway Act and were absorbed by the LMS. The two stayed in the region in the Scotland all the way up to British Railway's formation in 1948. They befriended many engines over their time including a standard 3mt called Jones. When it came to 1955, many of their friends were being scrapped or withdrawn to be replaced with diesels. In 1955, Donald was bought by one Sir Topham Hatt and was to work on the North Western Region of British Railways.

In the end they proved their worth in the snow and the Fat Controller went to the mainland without telling them to legally purchase Douglas. The two primarily work on the mainline but do any odd jobs assigned to them, often being transferred to any of the Branchlines or aiding in constructions projects.

## Personality

Douglas is a loyal hardworking engine. He can be gruff and rather arrogant, but will persevere and learn to accept others over time. With his twin, he is a very capable engine who can tackle any train. Famously the Caledonian twins work wonders in the snow, clearing the line and rescuing stranded engines. Douglas often looks on the negative aspects in situations and can be quite blunt when approaching an obstacle. He has a very bitter disdain for diesels, as Donald but not quite the same as Douglas. The two saw their fair share of nasty diesels who wanted to scrap him and as such has left a bitter taste in his mouth. Because of this, he struggles to accept diesels like BoCo as actual friends as he doesn't trust them. Though in BoCo's case, his mind has been changed - though he is still very sceptical.

**Plot:**

It's June 1965, in May, a new diesel named BoCo had arrived on the island and had started work on Edward's branchline. Back in June: One evening, Henry arrives in the yards where Douglas is waiting.

Douglas explains that they are for a new evening Night Train that runs across the island all night, he and Donald take turns pulling it, and have done so for a month now.

Later that night at the sheds, Henry is told the twins are needed elsewhere and he is to take the train. Henry pulls the train very well, al night long and late next morning arrives back at the sheds. In the yards next morning, Henry talks to BoCo about the night train and explains how he usually pulls the "The Flying Kipper" instead. BoCo asks why the Scottish twins why they don't like him, and Henry explains because on their old line they were threatened to be scrapped by diesels leaving us in suspense on what BoCo will do to befriend, or earn the trust of the Scottish twins...
Knapford Harbour

## Geography

Knapford Harbour is located towards the South of the city. It is connected to the main station via the yard and a bridge that elevates at the harbour then crosses above past the yards then aligns with the station entering platform 5 and 6 similarly to how the loop line enters through platform 1 and 2. There are two main cranes, one which is old and no name and the other called Big Mickey, a big friendly giant crane who handles most of the goods. The harbour has around 20-30 goods sheds and 8 main piers with 10 large berths for ocean liners. There is a subsection yard of the harbour where a large 6 road brick shed is situated which is used for overflow goods or for engines to rest.

## History

The main harbour at Knapford was a project that began in 1903 by men of the area who'd planned a bigger harbour to handle more import and export for the city. It took many years for the railway to have full access to it and was 1915 by the time the railway had set up full operations there. It has had numerous renovations to expand it and add more docks to it to increase the traffic of the ports. It was instrumental during the first world war for shipping supplies and munitions to the Western Front. The harbour was bombed twice during WW2 but sustained minimal damage aside 3 of the main liner docks destroyed but these were repaired across the rest of the war. Many engines have shunted the harbour for periods of time when required but as of 1965, the harbour is in need of a permanent engine to shunt there.

## Trivia

* Knapford Harbour is where the Flying Kipper departs from every week.
* It is where Percy took a plunge down a sunken key.
Tidmouth

## Geography

Tidmouth is a mainline station, but is also the start of Thomas' branchline. Thomas' branchline starts here, has a track to Knapford, but then continues North-East up to Ffarquhar. There is a yard here for the branchline and any mainline trains due out. There is a 3 road shed here too where Thomas, Percy and Toby usually sleep.

## History

The Station was built in 1902 without a canopy, and later gained one in 1920. It was one of the Elsbridge and Knapford Railway's stations and saw lots of income. The town is one of the largest on the island and stretches such a distance there is Lower Tidmouth as well. There's an old line which loops round the small peninsular where there's a small port. Back in olden time this saw lots of action for the town, however when the old Knapford Harbour was built in 1899, it saw little use and as such was shut down. In the days of the E&K, both harbours were used extensively to transport goods to foreign companies. There are lots of small industries at Tidmouth, most notably the Oil depo on the outskirts towards Knapford sees a lot of income and trains. Tidmouth became the start of Thomas' branchline in 1924 when operations on the branch begun. Similarly in 1966, after months of quiet construction to a miniature railway which mines ballast, a branchline was opened stemming from Tidmouth to Arlesburgh.
The Yards

## Geography

The mainline yards are primarily based a little behind Knapford station which is one of the connections between the station and the Harbour. The yard extends from the edge of the harbour and stretches past the station into some smaller sidings which connect onto the main platforms. The yards contain hundreds of trucks and many sidings to shunt them in. There are around 50 goods sheds/carriage sheds, all of which are constantly being used. There are multiple coaling and water stations for steam engines to refuel weather passing through or shunting and fuel stations too for diesels likewise. There is one main carriage shed with 6 roads which is often used by engines in need of rest just after or before trains. There's also some road sheds around the area to link up the transfer of goods between road and rail.

## History

The yards were first built in 1903 but were always gradually expanding. They're were the main shunting grounds for the Elsbridge and Knapford Railway however they were significantly smaller than what they are today. The current Knapford harbour also didn't have rail connections as it was still under construction at this time, as such, the old harbour on the other side of the station was the one in use. Therefore, the yard didn't need to extend to the current harbour. The yards stayed the same after 1908 for a while until 1915 when they were drastically expanded to accommodate the new increase of rolling stock and the use of the bigger Knapford Harbour. They've grown since this time, often when there's been an expansion of the mainline with more rolling stock. As of 1965, Duck is remaining as Knapford station pilot and yard shunter.

TCA

**TCA** (acronym meaning *The Canadian Askew*) is a YouTube channel created by Jonas Albert on June 28th, 2015. It primarily does what it calls "barely animated content", though on occasion it has branched out into other forms of content, including video games, emergency alert mocks, and news presentations.

It is the channel on which all Jonas Clones content is published.

## History

The channel was created in 2015. Its name was inspired by what at the time was Jonas's heightened interest in Canada, while Askew referred to the last name of one of Jonas's relatives. However, after they were mistaken for an actual Canadian resident, Jonas began decreasing the importance of the acronym's meaning, though the channel still uses the full name.

## Series

The TCA has published the following series over it's history:

* Alternate Future of Europe
* Countryballs
* The 5 Friends (cancelled)
* TCA News
* Jonas Clones

## Presence in the Jonas Clones universe

The TCA brand has appeared in numerous Jonas Clones episodes, a trait that goes back to the channel's early days making Countryballs and other series. Within the Jonas Clones universe, the TCA brand can be spotted on news broadcasts, store fronts, billboards, and microphone covers.

Overall, the TCA name and brand plays little to no role in the series, and likely exists as a humourous gag.

S1,E8 - BoCo and the Express

## Plot

It's December 1965 and there's a light frost covering the island. One morning, BoCo is resting in a goods shed when he sees Gordon rush by with the express. BoCo proceeds to tell his driver how he'd love to pull the express. Next morning, some of the engines are discussing what their favourite train's are. BoCo says he'd love to pull the express but is scoffed at by Gordon who claims a branchline diesel pulling a mainline train would be simply preposterous. BoCo still has his dreams though. Later, the engines are informed that Henry had an accident and can't pull his morning goods. Gordon is assigned to take it instead leaving BoCo to take the express. BoCo is thrilled and Gordon is mortified. BoCo pulls the express without a hitch getting to Barrow in record time. On his way back, he's delayed by Gordon and later passes him struggling with some trucks. Gordon is then made fun of by some boys who think there is a new shunter. When Gordon covers for Henry on the Flying Kipper that night, he realises BoCo is a good engine and did a splendid job on the express. He later apologises to BoCo and the two remain firm friends.

S1,E8 - BoCo and the ExpressS1,E9 - Gordon and the Mallard | The ArrivalS1,E10 - Gordon and the Mallard | The Fastest Engines Alive

## Bio

Ben, is a cheeky yellow tank engine, twins with Bill. The two pranksters, built on April 1st 1948. While constantly playing jokes on the engines and workers, the two are hard working and are never separated. Before sodor, they worked in a colliery in Britain after being built in 1948 and stayed there until they arrived on Sodor in 1965 and settled into life quickly.

## Personality

Ben is a cheeky little engine and enjoys pulling pranks on the other engines with Bill. He works very hard, put can get distracted by pulling lots of tricks and games at the China Clay Pits. He and his brother Bill have angered several engines, most notably Donald and Douglas, in particular Donald. He is a good engine though and does value his work, but has too much interest in pranks and games perhaps. One engine he and his brother like to irritate is Gordon as he does not know how serious they are when they joke.

Barrow-In-Furness

## Geography

Barrow-In-Furness is the station that connects sodor to England, located on the North West side of England. It is a 4 road station (in this depiction) with a glass roof. It is shared with mainland diesels who bring trains that connect with the North West Region ones from Sodor. Gordon always exchanges the express with a mainland diesel here. There is a large yard by the station and a 6TS Through-road shed.

## History

Barrow-in-Furness railway station - Wikipedia

Notably in 1925, Adam was sent to pilot the station for the North Western Railway's operations there.[1]
Vicarstown

## Geography

Vicarstown is a large town on the most eastern point of the island. It is a large town with a large station to handle the cities' various industries and many passengers. There is a 4-road shed next to a yard by the station. There is a slightly larger yard beyond the station too. Just by this additional yard, there is a munitions factory which has a lot of rail traffic both with sodor and England. There are several goods sheds surrounding the station to handle the various goods. The most commonly imported goods is either oil or fish. Oil is often imported for the large town and munitions factory and fish is both imported and exported through Vicarstown due to the Ballahoo branchline servicing Norramby Harbour - the fishing village. A few miles east of the station you will find the grand Vicarstown bridge, connecting the island with England at the terminus of Barrow-In-Furness

## History

The original station building was built way back in 1866, and the station looked very different to how it does today. Back then it had only 2 tracks and a very small yard to the left of the station. This was when it was a station of the Sodor and Mainland Railway. It remained this way for a long time until the station building was expanded in 1893. It would later be modified when a 3rd track and platform were added in 1915 to aid the new North Western Railway. It was finally rebuilt entirely in 1923 to maximise traffic and lead into the start of the Ballahoo branchline in 1922. Aside from maintenance and renovations, the station has stayed generally the same since then. The Ballahoo branch saw lots of traffic at Vicarstown when opened and still does.
Mainline Sheds

James

Donald

Douglas

Duck

## Geography

Tidmouth sheds is the main engine shed for the mainline. It's located at Tidmouth, although the main station is Knapford. This is because a lot of traffic passes and departs via Tidmouth so its easier access. There are sheds at Knapford too, but the main shed is here.

## History

It was first constructed in 1923, then it only had 6 births. It served its purpose for many years, however with more engines, in 1946, an additional two births were constructed to give more room, making it an 8-road shed. The sheds are built just a little bit beyond the main city, the mainline passes by the sheds. The works shed is just next to the main shed, which had been there since 1904. It serves as a shed for minor repairs and storage or just casual resting.

S1,E1 - Duck and Gordon

https://youtu.be/x8MpT3V1IJI

Season 1 - Episode 1: Duck and Gordon

**Plot:**

Its December 1964, and snow has covered the island badly. Duck, whilst working on the mainline, has noticed the snow getting worse, and how much of a hindrance and pain wearing a snowplough is. Unfortunately, he is forced to wear one, and whilst at the junction where he sees Gordon everyday, is teased for having to wear one. After getting stuck in the snow, he is reassured by Henry that Gordon's pride won't last much longer and he'll wear a snowplough eventually. Henry is then proven right as the next day as Gordon is wearing a snowplough to Duck's delight - Gordon learns his lesson not to tease other engines for wearing snowploughs as they are vital and he may need one himself!

## Characters:

* Duck
* Gordon
* Henry
* Thomas
* Edward (*Does not speak)*
* Toby (*Cameo)*
Jonas Clones (species)

**Jonas Clones** (*Generalus beduteras*) are a bipedal, humanoid species that serve as the main premise of the show of the same name. By the time the episodes take place, they are the dominant species on Earth, having been created as a result of the Vancouver Incident.

## Appearance

Jonas Clones appear almost identical to each other, being the result of cloning experiments. They are all beige in terms of skin colour, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Their fashion primarily consists of a standard plain-coloured T-shirt, pants, socks, and slip-on shoes. So far, Clones breaking this fashion trend tend to be extremely rare.

## Bedutology

Jonas Clones show the primary emotions of joy, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust, that humans show. They show a great sense of curiosity, showing little to no fear of committing to researching their past and present. However, this has also exposed a lack of understanding regarding aggression from other species, as shown in Where the Human Things Are, when 1 remains suspiciously calm at the moment when Will Wenhold, a human, holds a gun to his chest. They also show a great sense of creativity, which has allowed their film and literature industries to thrive.

Jonas Clones cannot speak by default, instead they must be taught how to speak. English is the Jonas Clones' primary language, adopted from humans, though some clones have opted to use Jonish, a language derived from Romance and Germanic languages alike.

Their status as a species is a troubled one. While they did not evolve from any lifeform, creature, or animal, they are large in number, with suggestions saying that their population exceeds one billion. They could also be counted as descendants of Homo sapiens (the human race), concerning their distinct similarities in terms of body shape, facial layout, and limb count.

Jonas Clones rank quite poor when it comes to violence. They show a notable lack of skill when they attempt to hunt other creatures, instead being hunted by other creatures, which, contributed to by the uprising of zombies, has led to a slight decrease in their numbers. Due to being poor hunters, Jonas Clones have resorted to eating plant-based foods, effectively making them vegans in human terms. However, the validity of this claim is unknown.

Jonas Clones have shown a sense of unity, and have formed their own nation-state, aptly named the "Jonish Republic".

### Gender

A long-debated question is the reason why Jonas Clones have genders, despite being clones of a single person. Many Jonas Clones are male, while other Clones are female. The existence of non-binary Jonas Clones is unconfirmed, though the possibility is out there. Lesbians, gays, transgenders, bisexuals, and pansexuals exist. It is also unknown how Jonas Clones reproduce. The preferred way is using cloning machines, however some have suggested that due to Jonas Clones having genders, they are able to reproduce sexually. This is a heavily debated topic, and has largely been referred to as incest by humans.
Canada

**Canada** is a former human nation and current province of the Jonish Republic. It serves as a major plot point in the Jonas Clones series overall.

## History

Timeline-wise, Canada was first mentioned in Jonas Clones Audio Stories: The Beginning, specifically the city Vancouver, as the birthplace of the Jonas Clones. The Jonas Clones were made using a machine, which backfired due to overuse of billithium, causing a global catastrophe referred to by Clones as the "Vancouver Incident".

Sometime between 2069 and 2100, as evidenced by posters remaining in the HMS Reddit, the Clones began a mass exodus to New Zealand, with the Jonas Clone government even making the switch. The status of Vancouver became unclear from this point onwards.

The status of Canada, as with most nations, is currently unclear. The area surrounding Vancouver is shown in the intro's map as a grey-coloured area. Whether this means Vancouver is uninhabitable is unknown.

Olivia Levesque

**Olivia Levesque** is an unseen human character credited in *Jonas Clones Audio Stories: The Beginning* as being responsible for the creation of the Jonas Clones, the cause of the Vancouver Incident. By the time *Pilot* takes place, she is long dead.

## Life

Olivia is mentioned various times over different extras, but she is yet to be seen or mentioned in any episode of the series.

She was born between 2002 and 2003, in Quebec, Canada, later moving to Vancouver to study science at the University of British Columbia. While on holiday in New Zealand where she worked a part-time job as a hairdresser, she picked up a strand of hair. Smuggling it back into Canada, Olivia decided to see if she could use it on the cloning machine the UBC had. However, she wrongly estimated how much billithium was needed, and the machine backfired, presumably killing her in the ensuing explosion.

She has not been mentioned in any of the episodes as a whole, though her actions are addressed by several characters at some points, and the consequences of said actions can be seen.

PBC

The **Public Broadcasting Corporation** (**PBC**) is a radio and television broadcaster based in the Jonish Republic. It is one of various broadcasters set up by the Jonas Clones. PBC has made various major and minor appearances across Jonas Clones material. Presumably, it is the Jonas Clones analogue of the American-based PBS, assuming that the CPBS is a member broadcaster of the PBC.

It's newscast, News@6, is hosted by 92.
World War III

*This page is a work in progress. You can help the Jonas Clones Wiki by expanding it.*

## World War III

### Results:

Jonas Clone victory* All human nations dissolved
* Jonas Clones crowned as Earth's rulers
* Beginning of a period of peace prior to the zombie apocalypse

**World War III** was a battle between the Jonas Clones and all human nations, groups, and alliances. The war began around the 2030s (or at least sometime after the Vancouver Incident), and concluded with the fall of humanity around the beginning of the 22nd century. The war is a notable plot point in the story of the entire series, and explains why the Jonas Clones dominate the planet Earth in 2500.

While the war has not been mentioned in full yet, snippets of the war have been mentioned. Notable events which occurred during the World War III timeframe include:

* Bombing of Bratislava
* Invasion of New Zealand
