"Sato's starred down into the tank, wondering if Professor Langdon had any idea what had happened. She doubted it. After all, disorientation was the entire purpose of this technology...Sato's wondered if she should wait for a medical team to extract Langdon, but she knew she didn't have much time. I need to know what he knows. "Turn out the lights," she said. "And find me some blankets."

"The blackness had returned, but Langdon could now hear distant whispers echoing across the light-years of emptiness.
Muffled voices...as if the world were about to shake apart.

Disembodied hands were suddenly reaching for him, grabbing his body, trying to yank out of his world...
He felt like a child being born from a womb.
Then it happened.

No!
No please!
I want to go back.

He was convulsing, coughing up liquid. He felt pain in his chest and neck. Excruciating pain...
Cold air poured into his lungs, and he felt like a newborn taking his first breath on earth. This world was excruciating.

Robert Langdon had no idea how much time had passed. The echos of distant chanting still hung in his mind.
Verbum signicatium...Verbum omnificum...

Profesasor Langdon, someone whispered. Do you know, where you are?
Langdon nodded weakly, still coughing.
More important, he had begun to realize what was going on tonight"

(TLS 414-15).

"Wrapped in blankets, Langdon stood on wobbly legs and stared down at the open tank. His body had returned to him, although he wished it had not... This world felt hard and cruel... Langdon had little doubt that Peter had endured a similar experience.

Sato's motioned for Langdon to follow her, and he did, trudging slowly down a narrow hall, deeper into the bizarre lair that he was now seeing for the first time. They entered a square room with a stone table and errie colored lighting. Katherine was here, and Langdon heaved a sigh of relief. Even so the scene was worrisome.
Katherine was lying on her back on a stone table. Blood- soaked towels lay on the floor.
She was sobbing quietly.

"Katherine?" Langdon croaked, barely able to speak. She turned her head, looking disoriented and confused.
"Robert."..."But I...saw you drown!"
"Thank God," she whispered kissing his cheek.
"I don't understand...how..."

"Robert," she said, Peter's alive."
She described his physical condition ~the wheelchair, the strange knife, the illusion to some kind of "sacrifice..."
"He said he was taking Peter to the sacred mountain"

(TLS 416-17).

A sacred mountain?
