....The Goddess told me who was involved, rather than repeat what she said, since she is here, I will let her give direct testimony. I can validate though, that through interrogation we did establish beyond her observation, the guilt of several of that cabal"
Sabah steps forward and her face transforms from human to feline. "I am Bast" she states, her voice resonating throughout the room and commanding the full attention of everybody present.
She first gestures to the five French sitting in the nicer chairs and without restraints stating, "The Pharoah presumed correctly, these five are completely innocent. In fact, the conspirators original plan was to have these five perish from ingesting same poison as the Royal family. That would have provided coverage for the French involvement in the deaths, if several of their own including two of their leaders also died.
She then turns towards the group of seven who are gagged but unrestrained. She points towards Frederic Passy and Hippolyte Taine, stating "These two are also innocent, rise and go join the other five."
She gestures towards Sarah Bernhardt and says, "She did not know of the conspiracy to murder the royal family, but was still an accomplice, willingly impersonating then Princess Neferka with knowledge that the goal was to manipulate her. The Pharoah can decide her punishment."
Lastly she turns to Jean-Francois Champollion and states loudly and angrily "He was not involved with the plot to kill the Egyptian royal family, but he is guilty of an even greater crime. He is responsible for systematically desecrating my temples, destroying my statues and stealing the riches of Egypt itself. After the Pharoah has passed judgement on the others I request that he be given to me, to learn the true meaning of a God's wrath." "Granted", Neferka states as she gestures to several guards who pull Champollion from his chair and forcibly restrain him.
Bast steps back and says, "These other ten are all conspirators that were directly responsible for the death of the Pharoah and his sons." She gestures to them, specifically Daguree, Gouraud, Chevruel, Moissan, Bellocq, Richet, Jacquard, Gay-Luccac, Merimee and Guizot."
Neferka says, "Testimony from these men is not necessary, the word of the Goddess Bast is fact." She turns to George and says, "Mr. Eastman, do you know what the motivation was for these men?"
