So here's my take on this:

+ is this the case?

Everything he talked about really happened, to an extent. The places and peoples described did exist, but maybe not in the places mentioned, or with the traits given. Maybe this guy even was a warrior and ambassador at one point. Unfortunately, the facts have gotten muddled as he goes crazier and crazier with age.

+ Not quite.

All of SCP-2622's stories are complete lies. He is, however, still a mole person.

I like the subversion.

If this guy's supposed to be legitimate, I'll probably neutral vote, seeing how many other former species have claims to prior dominance over the Earth, and at least one other non-human explorer of the Earth. If this is a hoax with no legitimate explanation for how the guy is what he is (since his story sounds like such bullshit), I have to upvote at that point, because what the fuck.

See my above reply to DreamwalkerFae if you're interested in the real explanation.

At first, I was a bit thrown off by this, but the more I read, the more I enjoyed this. It kind of reminds me of Lord Blackwall, but is different enough to work.

He is supposed to be a kind of "mole man" right?

basicmathgirl 30 Jan 2015 18:36

Yeah, he's intended to be a humanoid star-nosed mole.

augmentedspartan 30 Jan 2015 19:14

I'm going to be honest here and admit that at first I was "Oh, mole people inhabiting Earth before humans, how original", but once I realized he was basically bullshitting his entire story, I just had to upvote.

Hawkin 30 Jan 2015 20:55

Crazy hobo who came to believe in his own delusions so much that he actually became a mole person (and is thus the only one)?

Mondegreen 30 Jan 2015 21:14

I like that he's gradually revealed to be lying about everything, but more than that I like that he was discovered while ambling around the London Underground system. (As you don't mention any TfL staff involvement, I like to think anomalies are so often found wandering aimlessly around the Tube network that the Foundation now carries out routine sweeps there…) +1 for sheer fun weirdness.

Edit: didn't read the Addendum properly. If I could, I'd +1 again for the facsimiles of military medals - nice little emotional touch without being overly sentimental, good work.

I saw this in the forums, I like it

Metaphysician 31 Jan 2015 02:42

I love the old exploration fiction; you had me at molemen.

Sensei Le Roof 31 Jan 2015 16:55

It's the Mole People. A-and it… works. Somehow. Just one nitpick:

with an affected English accent

Which one? Are you thinking "standard", which would be a Received Pronunciation accent?

basicmathgirl 31 Jan 2015 20:44

It has an obviously faked British accent that it refuses to stop speaking in, so I'm not sure that I can adequately answer "what accent is it?". The SCP itself probably doesn't know.

Sensei Le Roof 04 Feb 2015 17:09

Hmm. I'd say call it "muddled" then, but someone else might come up with a "more clinical" equivalent.

Scorpion451 01 Feb 2015 02:29

Absolutely love this. Can't help but wonder where the heck this guy actually came from.

Rednose 03 Feb 2019 21:37

Sounds like a good basis for a tale
