I just did this quest last night being apprehensive. If you are KOS, there's no way to fix it. I killed a few of the geonids back in my early 40s, but not enough to be KOS.

Bring the velium focus from Thurgadin and a inviser friend to the Phenocryst. Start the trade with him and then have your friend invis you. You get a positive faction increase, and can then do the quest starting from Thurgadin again to get above indifferent. Doing this trick still works after the May 8 patch.

But if you are KOS you'll never be able to uninvis to start the trade. Upsets me that this faction is there and there isn't a normal way to increase it, you have to pull these tricks.

If you have any question about your geonid faction, you can raise it by taking the focus gem to the Phenocryst, handing it to him, having a friend invis you, and THEN click give. This will raise your faction. Repeat this step until your faction is amiable. Took me two rounds to go from indiffrent to amiable. Not bad for having killed multiple geonids. Happy Questing!
