Jake at first did not understand what Marco was talking about, until he said "big red eye". It was as if he was frozen in place. Yeah, that. The creature from his nightmares? The thing he saw during the end of those three days a Yeerk was inside him?
Jake never had the intention of telling the others about that horror in particular. No, never. He didn't want them to worry or start thinking that he was losing it.
"I would have remembered that too... I mean, when coming here--I didn't feel any different. No pain, nothing that felt like something was missing. Nothing has affected my memory all this time I've been--"
Jake swore he felt a chill down his spine. Everything else Marco said sent his mind reeling. It didn't sound like Marco was making all of this up, and how certain he was on seeing Jake around at the time. It was just getting hard to think and make sense on most of this. Jake had to stop and think about what made sense to him, while rubbing the back of his neck in frustration.
He thought of the few people other people from Earth, or at least what could be his Earth. Including Kida, the woman who disappeared without a trace a while back. The very first person he met since day one in coming through the Vanaheim gate.
"Okay", he started, just barely maintaining his cool. "I don't get all of what you're saying, but if this Crayak thing truly knocked me out and put me in this place, I don't see why he could bring three to four humans from different areas of Earth around here too, for example. Japan, England... There was one from somewhere in the 1920's. This woman who was from a very different civilization." Beat. "I don't think that person told me where she was from exactly, but--I have these concrete memories of a few I've met in person. And I can show you some of who I contacted on my journal device."
He shook his head. He had to crack a smile on the recent string of thoughts running along his brain. Because they all seemed so ridiculous. "If Crayak had the power to look inside my head and take stuff out he would know that the 1920's isn't my favorite history subject, and that I wouldn't know anyone from outside the States."
"And the dreams you've been having? I think they're just dreams, dude. Very weird, random dreams." Jake said this in his own amusement. "It's more like your subconscious telling a joke."
