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 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!"

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].

Man, this world really makes me laugh, seems your layout has some upgrades as well. It looks awesome!   Just wasnted to say, i laughed when i read "mining rights to land that's already owned— nobody knows how that works but it seems to be legal" I love the deadpan delivery of humor in this world. Its well done and of course how you go about the conspiracy of molepeople in general is rather good as well. at first i wasnt too keen. molemen just arent my thing.   When i realized this goes much deeper, effectively showing their... what would you call it? Identity crisis? lol it almost reminds me of a washed up celebrity who is desperate to be remembered again. i hope that made sense XD.   As a side note, i got your story pulled up over in umquam and read this first. I immediately wonder if you plan on doing short stories for ARPRA? id be quite excited.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that it does. Now I've added a few more upgrades to the comments as you've reminded me I needed to!   I'm glad you picked up on the whole washed up conspiracy theory bit, that was my favorite joke here!   Short stories for APRA? That...is not a bad idea. The thought did cross my mind at one point, but I discarded it at the time because I was focused on something else. I'm trying to do 1 story a month so having more options never hurts— and I don't think the Qet story will be ready in 3 days...so maybe this'll be the route to go.

No problem at all! Lol I know that feeling. I wanted to follow that example and make a story every month but evrry time I write a story it usually ends up a novella. Either way, I'm excited to read it!
