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.
Delete the footage by sundown, or we'll be forced to do something drastic.— A Moleman Co. representative
Oh we already deleted those, like, an hour after airing. Took up too much space.— An underpaid intern
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!— Ekaj Folks
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.— Tired Jim
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.
Great article Timepool, it was a really fun read :D Since their mentioning in the Beyond Park, I have been looking forward to learn more about the moleme--- Eh, I mean this Amsterdam-based company that does absolutely nothing else besides selling hiking products and which is definitely not run by a bunch of [REDACTED].
Yup! Nothing suspicious here, just camping.
