Information

VD12 was giving a speech to the eight hostages,

"If any of you attempt to escape...you'll fail." he shrugged, "and you might even pay severely for it. You saw from your weapons' uselessness that I am invincible, yes, invincible, so there's really nothing you can do. Even eight-against-one I'll be able to track each of you down and recapture you. What more can I say? And so now, due to no other choice, you'll give us the information we need. Each of you will, one-by-one, go into that room, and whomever gives the most amount of info to Aleck will get the least amount of jail-time. But if two of your stories don't line up...." he shook his head as if it was too painful to tell them.

Aleck held the first person in the room a long time, making it appear that he had confessed more than he actually had. That basically made the rest spill the beans.

So, the results? Aleck said the exact coordinates of the explosion weren't actually known, if it had even been decided on yet. They all admitted the weapon was futuristic, as well as the hacking technology that had turned us into criminals. They confirmed that Bob definitely planned on bombing Beijing, and definitely on Thanksgiving. They all made a point to say "American Thanksgiving". I looked it up, and Chinese Thanksgiving is December 21st, but Aleck shook his head. He said they seemed to put too much emphasis on "American" for it's just to be clarifying which Thanksgiving. But moving on, the bomb is made out of antimatter, and the explosion will wipe Beijing off the map, if we can't stop it. The best actually useful tip we got is that the bomb is not just being brought from the future, but is actually being built here, in Beijing. Furthermore, antimatter in the quantity Bob needs can be detected with the right equipment. If we can get Oleck back from the hospital, he can, no doubt, find the detector and that should lead us to straight to Bob. Or at least that's the theory.

But anyway, things are finally coming together. We may actually be able to stop that bomb. If only everything works out right...
