Stupid brain

Yes, it is very important to spend two hours researching the difference between a geological survey and a geographic survey so I can use the right term when Jack dismisses the data presented to him via the report in a brief sentence. 

And no, I'm not wasting time on the minutia because it puts off figuring out the specifics behind the evil alien, or how Jack is going to solve things and what's going to happen next- that's just a bonus.

Anyone have a brain that is functioning?  Mine appears to be stuck on spin cycle.

I always happily accept all offers of chocolate!

I finally did manage to figure it out. A geological survey done on the Wisconsin Episode glaciation, where trace amounts of Germanium were discovered in boreholes- which enable Jack (with other clues) to figure out the mystery.

I never thought about how I come up with alien names, I tend to just smush together consonant sounds till it feels right
