**Holmes**: (leaning slightly closer) "Lady Rhyssa, your nervousness suggests you know more about this artifact than you’re letting on. What is your connection to it?"
**Lady Rhyssa**: (fidgeting with her scarf) "Oh, Holmes, it’s not that simple. The artifact—it's tied to ancient tales that my family has guarded for generations. I didn’t want to burden you with this knowledge."
**Watson**: "But if it’s crucial to our investigation, we need to know. What do you know about its powers and its significance?"
**Lady Rhyssa**: (sighing) "Legend has it that the artifact grants immense power to those who possess it, but it can also bring great calamity if misused. The gang you mentioned may be after it, believing they can control its power for their own gain."
**Holmes**: "And you fear for its safety, don’t you? This is why you’re so eager to reach Boulder—there’s more at stake than just labor disputes."
### The Tension Builds
Holmes’s probing has revealed a deeper layer of the mystery. Lady Rhyssa’s connection to the artifact adds urgency to their quest.
