[Sombra didn't confirm it, but all the pieces fit. She can't have possibly taken it from anyone else. Jack knows this is his fault--that they took the opportunity to incapacitate Lena while he was gone, but even though he's back, what can he possibly do? He isn't Winston. He doesn't even know how to go about finding Lena, much less repairing the device.]
[Theoretically. He's had it explained to him enough times, and he knows the general rules of the thing--as much as one can, when time travel is involved.]
No, it's a prize to her. But we're not going to let Lena down. Sombra has to slip up somehow. Maybe those other people she's talking to will lead us to her?
Yeah. It'll have to be done on foot, I think. I can't track her TAB if she's constantly moving through time. I'll start at her tree house. It's next door.
[ Just in case Jack didn't know Mei and Lena are neighbors. ]
[They don't have any kind of containment chamber like they did in Overwatch, but there will have to be something they can do. Jack refuses to accept the alternative.]

Do you know anything about the accelerator?

[ Hear that groan? Mei's wondering what's happened to Lena! Is she shooting backwards and forwards through time right now?
What? Jack asked her a question. Focus. ]
Well, yes, a bit. It's built to keep her molecules from desynchronizing and lets her control her movement through time.

We're gonna have to fix it.
[He says we, but Jack is not the scientist here.]
no subject
[ Yes, yes, we aka her. ]
Is there any way to trace where she is?
no subject
[That's the plan he's formulating, anyway--he gets the pieces of the device from Sombra, then brings them to Mei to fix.]
Something tells me she ain't gonna give it up so easy.

no subject
[Seeing as they have very few other leads.]
Can't hurt to try and find Lena in the meantime.

[ And a half hour later. ]
No sign of her here, Jack. Anything on your end?
no subject
[And if he knows Lena, she's definitely trying.]
