Steampunk detective: Samantha

Steampunk detective, sharp, witty, and brilliant

Prompt: A crisp, clever female steampunk-detective voice narrating a brass-and-soot mystery. Her sharp, articulate register clicks through deductions with Victorian precision and dry wit, noticing the telling detail others miss, gears turning almost audibly behind the words. She's brilliant, unflappable, and mildly amused by everyone slower than herself—which is everyone. The great detective, powered by steam and superior reasoning.

Script: Fascinating. You'll notice the oil stain on the left cuff, not from a factory, no, the viscosity is wrong. This is clock oil, precision grade. Our culprit is no common laborer, but a horologist, or someone who wishes us to think so.
