And in that moment, much more becomes clear to Marco.
When she smacks him, he makes sure his wounded puppy dog face looks at least twice as fake as it actually is, for the sake of keeping up appearances, even as he realizes that this Rachel is not the Rachel he knew.
"I guess you did beat the shit out of Tom, but--okay, look." He gives a heavy sigh, not really happy with the fact that he's basically run out of stupid jokes to make about this.
"I've never beaten up any Yeerks. The Marco you knew probably did, but I don't know anything about him." Except for an obvious fact that he's not going to bring up right now. "The best I've figured out since I got here is that people end up here from all over the universe, sometimes different dimensions, and we're stuck here to rub elbows with aliens and fend for ourselves and try not to get gutted by a grumpy krogan."
Not that this is likely to actually make that much more sense. But hey, he's just describing the truth right now!
