The elusive Professor Marco was a man of many urban legends, which only grew more ostentatious as the years went by. Some would claim he was working on the first water powered vehicle, other that he discovered the key to immortality itself. His esoteric interviews would shed little light on his work, but prove something nonetheless. On his 82nd birthday, he was given one year to live due to a bone cancer diagnosis. After this news, Marco fled to an undisclosed village in Croatia. The isolation and impending doom drove him insane, leading to unholy unions of man and machine.
[Translated from a local Croatian news station interview with an eye witness]
“I can’t really describe it in great detail, since I was already flooring it and it was really dark out. I’ll tell ya though, I’m a man of God, myself, and what I did see told me enough; this was not a creature of God’s creation. It was the shape of a truck, ya know, a semi, just really huge. But it had, like, strange, fleshy bulges coming out of it. It’s horn was so loud, and, look, I know you’re not gonna believe me, but I swear I heard screams mixed in with it…….. Yeah, the windshield didn’t seem to be see-through, so no, I couldn’t tell if anyone was driving it….. No, I don’t believe I will ever be using that road again. Only saves me 8 minutes of a drive. Hell, the longer route has a nice view of the ocean.” -Eyewitness encounter of the FoF
