Please accept our congratulations on the acquisition of Nobeoka Platform, in the Sigma-59 system. It is a most impressive station, worthy of sharing space with the marvel of engineering that is Niigata Star City.
I come to you with a matter of business. Recent developments have left GMG with much work to do, and our borders are, more so than ever, at dire risk of penetration from those we share as enemies. In short, we need assistance.
As a result of the aforementioned developments, I would like to inquire as to whether the Bounty Hunters Guild would commit some of its forces to the Sigma region, using Nobeoka as a base in the area. We at GMG are considering re-opening a bounty board to compensate your people for any efforts made in our support, particularly against the Corsairs, Farmers Alliance and Outcasts.
Your thoughts are most welcome to be shared on this secure channel.

Good day Mister Namura. I would first like to say that it is good to be in contact with someone from the guild once again. To get right to the heart of the matter, we will of course support and aid the guild as best we can. As long time business partners it would be our pleasure to resume our previous arrangement. When the board has been opened I am certain that I will be able to encourage as many hunters as are needed to help.
On a personal note, I look forward to a hopefully long and prosperous relationship. I feel that as both leaders of a guild you and I have much in common.

Greetings once again Guildmaster Namura. Unfortunately since we have lost spoken a problem has occurred. We have recently encountered a group using stolen Bounty Hunter technology. As you can clearly read in this transmission they are utterly unwilling to return the stolen vessels. And despite their claims of having procured these vessels from Core sources, one of our own operations against them has recently uncovered that this is not the case.
While our support to the GMG does not hinge upon your cooperation with us in this matter, it would be greatly appreciated. We ask that the GMG deny any and all aid to this group of ship thieves, as well as informing us of any of their movements you may witness. We would also like to request that the GMG not involve itself directly in their apprehension, but would like permission to hunt these people down should they flee into guild space. Please do not needlessly endanger your own peoples lives, this group have already been branded as terrorists in Liberty for their actions and are quite dangerous.
It is a great comfort to hear of the Bounty Hunters Guild's interest in working with GMG once again. A bounty board is under construction and will soon be published on the neural net. BHG will be preregistered and gladly informed on this channel when this task is complete.
The situation between yourselves and Battlegroup Auxesia leaves us in a difficult position. As we have experienced first hand, stolen ships and technology is not a trivial matter, however, it does not appear possible for GMG to become directly involved in this dispute. Should the opportunity arise, GMG would volunteer to act as a neutral liaison between your groups in an attempt to solve this issue.
