Regarding the giant monster invasion a few weeks back, if that's the kind of thing you're interested in: there's a few more leads shaken loose from casing the tent (thanks to Rey and Loki, who did some quality sneaking around) and chasing down the people involved.
There's three major corporations involved in analysis and investigation. They're working on site (in the tent) through subsidiaries to handle clean-up and sample collection. I've done what digging I could on the job to figure out who's doing what based on what we saw there, and so far it seems to shake out like this.
1) Pulsar: dealing largely with what seems to me like defense research, focusing on developing some kind of chemical response. Laboratory research futzing with chemical reactions and responses in the tissues to different reagents. They don't seem to have moved past the stage of trying to figure out which chemicals would be effective or have identified specific weaknesses endemic to any aspect of the monster's biology.
2) Vyonation: protein sequence and structure analysis. They're trying to link them to any known evolutionary processes or mutations caused by radiation. I don't know yet if they've turned up anything, but that might be because they just haven't turned up anything. I'm given to understand from previous experience that this kind of research takes a significant amount of time.
I do want to point out that this is different from Kylo's analysis earlier. This isn't the same as sequencing genetic markers or identifying zootoxin similarities from venom samples.
3) Giles Bell: direction unclear. Unsure if that's because they haven't fully decided what to focus on yet, if they intend to go multiple directions, or if whatever they're actually doing is being kept under wraps. They're toying with a lot of stuff right now.
Some of these leads seem more promising than others, in terms of getting to the bottom of 1) how they got here, 2) what they really are, and 3) who's responsible (if anyone). I can't get actual access to the data servers, or even the samples without blowing my cover and landing myself in hot water, but it's all in the early stages at the moment. I'm going to try to keep my ear to the ground for what's coming along quickest, what's most promising, et cetera.
