[You are muttering to yourself when Zelda arrives.] (Muttering) How do I begin to narrow this down? [You notice Zelda.] Your Highness! I...was just muttering to myself. Uhh...I suppose I could confide in you, Princess Zelda. My name is Beecher. General Wright has asked me to look into a highly sensitive matter. You see, after the rift was mended, we noticed there was one extra soldier in Castle Town. General Wright believes this to mean one of them is an echo hidden among our ranks! So he asked me to see if any of the soldiers seemed suspicious. But my investigation has hit a wall. When I started looking at them more closely... they ALL seemed suspicious! You're not a soldier - so I know you're not the echo! You could help me figure this out!

[You see Zelda talking to a soldier in the barracks.] Your Highness! It's Beecher again! You came to ask about the equipment too? Hah! Two steps ahead of me. [The barracks soldier asks what is going on.] The princess and I are investigating whether one of the soldiers in Castle Town is an echo. [The barracks soldier is in shock.] If it were true, it would follow that there's a missing set of equipment. [The barracks soldier tells you that there was one outfit set outside for disposal that went missing.] (Concerned) I see! That's worrisome. A missing set of damaged equipment, and an extra soldier in Castle Town. What do you make of it, Princess Zelda? [Zelda responds that the echo must have taken the equipment.] Yes, exactly my thought! Someone stole the equipment and slipped in among the soldiers! [The barracks soldier tells you that the equipment that's missing is a used set another soldier traded in with signs of damage.] Find the damaged equipment, and you've got the echo! OK. Time to bring this interloper and their dinged-up gear to General Wright. For accuracy's sake, Princess Zelda, let's confirm with each other who we think it is. (Reminding) Remember, our suspect is a suspicious soldier with damaged equipment.

[General Wright unexpectedly comes into the barracks and you are informing him of the situation.] General Wright, sir! I asked the princess to aid in my investigation. And we've found the culprit! [General Wright gets angry at you for getting Zelda involved with the investigation.] Er, um... Sorry! After searching for the echo for a while, I got paranoid. I didn't know who else to trust. [You bring in the echo and present them to General Wright.] Here's the culprit! [The suspect asks what you mean by 'culprit'.] (Angry) That damaged lance proves it - you stole the equipment and pretended to be a soldier! Why? [The suspect tells you a 'sob story'.] Excuse me? THAT was why? [The soldier explains that he was visiting his friend in Castle Town when the rift appeared. A soldier rescued him and that's how he got inspired to become a soldier.] I understand. But... How should I put this? [General Wright proclaims that the suspicious soldier has the makings of a soldier.] (In shock) P-pardon, sir?! [General Wright is impressed by the soldier's enthusiasm for helping others and unyielding resolve.] General Wright, with all due respect, he's totally untrained, totally untested... [You are interrupted by General Wright who explains that training and experience are easily gained while spirit is not. He goes on to further explain that if the culprit managed to evade the attention of fellow soldiers, he has some skill.] I see...in that case. (Muttering) I do not envy this Capnut kid. 0Capnut asks if he can call you Beech.] (Embarrassed) *sigh* Please don't. We really have to fix the way you address your superiors.
