You Don't Know James, Part 3

Previously, on MinerBumping... EDISON ENGLISH was furious when his mining ship was bumped out of the ice anomaly. He instructed our Agents to stop, claiming that I was his Facebook friend and that I was opposed to miner bumping. But under intense questioning from our Agents, EDISON's story fell apart.

AGBee 001 > Miner, I swear to James
AGBee 001 > If you swear in this chat one more time
AGBee 001 > Or repeat any of the non-sense claims you've made already, I will double the fine
EDISON ENGLISH > i dont even knoe how to respond to that
AGBee 001 > Your response should be "what can I do to make things right"

Agent AGBee 001 made it abundantly clear that she would no longer entertain EDISON's outrageous claims. No more stories, no more lies.

EDISON ENGLISH > i stand by everything i said
AGBee 001 > Everything you think you know is nonsense
EDISON ENGLISH > ok
Lillie Naari > We are the highest authority you have at your disposal.
Lillie Naari > If you actually wish to makeit right
Lillie Naari > you make it right with us.

Agent Lillie Naari informed the miner that he would not be getting any last-minute clemency from the Saviour of Highsec. EDISON needed to deal with the Agents currently assigned to his case.

EDISON ENGLISH > so..if james/dom is out of the picture..and u now the big cheese...how canb we sort this out?
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > o/
EDISON ENGLISH > o7
Lillie Naari > o /
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > Evening lads

Suddenly, another Agent joined the convo. Would TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet be more favorably disposed to EDISON?

TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > I'll take it from here, thank you 001
EDISON ENGLISH > im not a liar i know james/dom my permit is valid...ebnd od
EDISON ENGLISH > end of....
Lillie Naari > Your permit was invalidated.
EDISON ENGLISH > you guys dont recognise my permit...they givvin me shit..i say i tell jamnes/dom they say im a liar

EDISON quickly got TheInternet up to speed--at least, as far as his side of the story was concerned.

TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > Okay, wait slow down
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > You believe Dom is James 315?
EDISON ENGLISH > yes 100%
EDISON ENGLISH > dom is james

The miner went all-in on his Facebook story. There was no turning back now.

TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > To begin, Dom is not James 315.
Lillie Naari > Your permit is #FakeNews
Lillie Naari > Did you get your permit from CNN?
Lillie Naari > Agent Jake Tapper?
EDISON ENGLISH > no
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > lol

A devastating blow to EDISON's case: His Facebook friend "Dom" was not the Saviour of Highsec. The revelation would shatter EDISON's confidence. Unless, of course, he refused to believe it.

EDISON ENGLISH > no way im on his fb now waiting for him to respond to my msg
EDISON ENGLISH > to sort you lot out
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > You clearly haven't read minerbumping.
EDISON ENGLISH > no

The miner confirmed that he was not a regular reader of MinerBumping. That's a grievous mistake for anyone who spends any time in highsec.

TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > The cost to get off the blacklist is 2B ISK.
EDISON ENGLISH > what
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > I suggest you contact me before this gets truly ugly.
TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet > Nice meeting you o/
AGBee 001 > oooooof
EDISON ENGLISH > wow
EDISON ENGLISH > that went well

TheInternet's judgment was rendered in record time, and she promptly excused herself to attend to important business elsewhere. Needless to say, EDISON was no better off than he'd been prior to TheInternet's intervention.

AGBee 001 > You're in a lot of trouble
EDISON ENGLISH > im not
EDISON ENGLISH > i know dom/james
EDISON ENGLISH > end of
AGBee 001 > You've been talking heaps of trash
EDISON ENGLISH > no
EDISON ENGLISH > im 100% sure im correct

EDISON brushed off everything he'd heard. All that mattered was that James 315 would eventually get on Facebook and rescue him from the rogue Agents.

AGBee 001 > You're 100% wrong, and hilariously so
EDISON ENGLISH > and im not gonna say im a liar if im not
AGBee 001 > It was the biggest joke on Reddit
EDISON ENGLISH > what ever
EDISON ENGLISH > i know dom

AGBee 001 could scarcely believe the miner's ignorance--or his confidence. It was time to burst his bubble with facts.

AGBee 001 > and you're about three weeks late on the reveal re; the ruse cruise
EDISON ENGLISH > explaine
AGBee 001 > http://www.minerbumping.com/2017/03/the-ruse-kruise-part-3.html
AGBee 001 > You clearly don't read minerbumping
EDISON ENGLISH > no
EDISON ENGLISH > i got my permit
EDISON ENGLISH > i mine

AGBee 001 threw EDISON a link to the "Ruse Kruise" series on MinerBumping. It would shed light on the source of EDISON's confusion. If he read it, that is.

During the Kusions' prank on the EVE Redditors, a widely circulated Facebook post claimed that CODE. was being sold to the highest bidder. EDISON had apparently been taken in by the prank. Weeks later, no one ever bothered to tell him that it was a hoax.

AGBee 001 > Well, your faith in Dom is misplaced
AGBee 001 > And it is going to make you look very, very silly come the minerbumping post
EDISON ENGLISH > ok
AGBee 001 > Your failure to read the link I posted is also noted
EDISON ENGLISH > educate me

EDISON was too lazy to actually read the dynamite MinerBumping post. AGBee had no choice but to spoonfeed its contents to the miner. When EDISON learned the truth, would he still deny it--or would he be devastated and remorseful?

To be continued...
