Angels and Demons Analysis Chapters 42- 50

It finally hit Robert Langdon about how to find the location of the Assassin behind all of this. Langdon needed to get into the Secret Vatican Archives to find the Galileo third book "Diagramma." He thinks in that book there is a location on how to find the beginning point of the so called treasure hunt which is called the segno. Now speaking Langdon and Vittoria mission is to "find the Diagramma, locating a four hundred-year-old segno, deciphering some mathematical code, and following an ancient trail of art that only the most brilliant scientist in history have ever been able to follow... all in the next four hours" (253). If they complete this mission they will find the Church of Illumination and where Langdon thinks the assassin is going to kill the four main cardinals that are missing. Also they have a chance to find the assassin to find the canister before it blows up Vatican City. 

The question that is constantly going through my head is can Langdon and Vittoria pull this mission off? Now judging on their mind sets, Vittoria is the science girl where she thinks what actions are possible to do during a situation. She thinks more science and with confidence. Langdon is the type of person who stands back and hears the situation, as if your stepping back and seeing the big picture. He is the history guy that thinks conceptual and find clues to decipher. It will be interesting on how they complete this mission and how quickly they think about the clues they come upon. 

But my biggest thought is the camerlengo. I think he has something to do with this because he is the last person to see the four cardinals because of the tea party. I have a gut feeling that the camerlengo is involved because of how nervous the camerlengo acts. How he's quiet and unsure of the finding of the canister. I don't have enough evidence that he is involved which pretty shoots down my statement but I can feel it. The only thing that signals me is that he stays quiet, or pretty much stalling the search for the canister. He's undecided what to do about the situation which shows his insecurity with his position. 

Then Langdon and Vittoria get themselves in a bad position by getting trapped in Vault 10. Vittoria claimed that their is information about the Galileo in Vault 10. As Langdon goes in their the door shuts behind him and the air inside is thinner than he anticipated. Vittoria enters as well and they both have 20 minutes before the air will be used up. They have to find that Galileo book.
