Moleman Co.

Buy our products, we aren't molemen!

Moleman Co. is a proud sponsor of several APRA ventures, and are undoubtedly connected to [Beyond Park](Beyond Park) and the mole-god which resides there. All ACF personnel are advised not to bring this up, or make any mention of molemen when dealing with them. This includes public-facing statements and marketing materials.

Marketing & Products

Moleman Co. sells camping and excavation supplies, with nothing particularly odd or anomalous in their catalog. Standard objects such as tents, pickaxes, dynamite, helmets, mining rights to land that's already owned— nobody knows how that works but it seems to be legal— and boots, among a variety of other items. Their products are notably popular with hikers, campers, spelunkers, and they have a line of products for industrial use— supplying excavations around the world with the tools necessary, including ACF operations.

However, Moleman Co. seems to be operating with ulterior motives. Excavation is a religious act for them— and it would seem that they are in search of something deep below the earth. Their corporate income simply funds this pursuit, and allows them to hide the existence of molemen from the world at large. It is believed they run a subterranean city with these funds.

Why hide anymore? Nobody cares about molemen these days, all the conspiracy nuts are going on about lizard people, aliens, and their father's face showing up on toast.

Have you seen how our personnel react to the revelation that molemen are real? They don't care! They tell me, “Bin, I don't care about molemen, I want to hear about why every time I make toast my father's visage looks back at me with disgust. He looks really mad, Bin, you have to help me!”

A Mole in Sheep's Clothing

The owners of Moleman Co. are, despite their disguises comprised of absolutely not alarming red robes possibly dyed with the blood of innocents, quite clearly molemen. Public appearances are rare for them, and those who attempt to expose them are either laughed away, payed off, threatened— or killed. In one particularly alarming case, a film crew for the television show Hunt for the Deermen came across clear evidence of the molemen's existence— and did not care.

The crew promptly moved on in pursuit of what they had set out to find— but aired the footage, regardless. It was their worst performing episode, and the show was cancelled soon after its airing. Despite this— Moleman Co. did everything in their power to make sure that the footage was never seen again.

Despite this, the crew would be found dead the next morning, presumably because they had seen too much. This would consequently lead to a renewal of Hunt for the Deermen, as it was assumed that deermen— not molemen— were responsible for the murder of the crew. Employees of Moleman Co. have made threats against ACF personnel on several occasions, though most have been wise enough to avoid their ire— Ekaj Folks seems almost to welcome this as a challenge, despite the numerous threats against him and his family.

Come on, you have to admit it's kinda hilarious, right? I mean, look at their name! They aren't even trying to hide!

Mole-God

Their name is literally just “Mole-god”?

What sort of half-baked name is that? I don't buy it, something like that cannot possibly be a credible threat.

The molemen worship a being known simply as Mole-god, a mysterious force which seems to be at the heart of the immortality experienced at Beyond Park.

Those who are left dead for too long within the park bear witness to the deity— and become indoctrinated into the molemen's faith. Often, they will furiously begin digging almost immediately after being brought back to life. It is suspected that Moleman Co. sponsors this venture specifically for this outcome— as the ACF is not yet aware of their end goal we cannot trust their motives.

In fact, it was through the ACF's original discovery and containment of the land that has now become Beyond Park that we first came in contact with the molemen. Our mutually beneficial arrangement would come only a year later when our non-sponsor funding began to dry up.
