Langdon
had
only
been
in
Kohler
s
presence
a
few
moments
and
already
sensed
the
director
was
a
man
who
kept
his
distance
.
Langdon
found
himself
practically
jogging
to
keep
up
with
Kohler
s
electric
wheelchair
as
it
sped
silently
toward
the
main
entrance
.
The
wheelchair
was
like
none
Langdon
had
ever
seen
equipped
with
a
bank
of
electronics
including
a
multiline
phone
,
a
paging
system
,
computer
screen
,
even
a
small
,
detachable
video
camera
.
King
Kohler
s
mobile
command
center
.
222
Langdon
followed
through
a
mechanical
door
into
CERN
s
voluminous
main
lobby
.
223
The
Glass
Cathedral
,
Langdon
mused
,
gazing
upward
toward
heaven
.

Overhead
,
the
bluish
glass
roof
shimmered
in
the
afternoon
sun
,
casting
rays
of
geometric
patterns
in
the
air
and
giving
the
room
a
sense
of
grandeur
.
Angular
shadows
fell
like
veins
across
the
white
tiled
walls
and
down
to
the
marble
floors
.
The
air
smelled
clean
,
sterile
.
A
handful
of
scientists
moved
briskly
about
,
their
footsteps
echoing
in
the
resonant
space
.
225
"
This
way
,
please
,
Mr
.
Langdon
.
"
His
voice
sounded
almost
computerized
.
His
accent
was
rigid
and
precise
,
like
his
stern
features
.
Kohler
coughed
and
wiped
his
mouth
on
a
white
handkerchief
as
he
fixed
his
dead
gray
eyes
on
Langdon
.
226
"
Please
hurry
.
"
His
wheelchair
seemed
to
leap
across
the
tiled
floor
.
227
Langdon
followed
past
what
seemed
to
be
countless
hallways
branching
off
the
main
atrium
.
Every
hallway
was
alive
with
activity
.
The
scientists
who
saw
Kohler
seemed
to
stare
in
surprise
,
eyeing
Langdon
as
if
wondering
who
he
must
be
to
command
such
company
.

"
I
m
embarrassed
to
admit
,
"
Langdon
ventured
,
trying
to
make
conversation
,
"
that
I
ve
never
heard
of
CERN
.
"
229
"
Not
surprising
,
"
Kohler
replied
,
his
clipped
response
sounding
harshly
efficient
.
"
Most
Americans
do
not
see
Europe
as
the
world
leader
in
scientific
research
.
They
see
us
as
nothing
but
a
quaint
shopping
district
an
odd
perception
if
you
consider
the
nationalities
of
men
like
Einstein
,
Galileo
,
and
Newton
.
"
230
Langdon
was
unsure
how
to
respond
.
He
pulled
the
fax
from
his
pocket
.
"
This
man
in
the
photograph
,
can
you
"
