Good day. Unfortunately I am personally not up to date with who is currently heading up what corporation, given the sheer amount of them spread across the houses and the Guilds own broad area of operations so I am unaware of who is currently overseeing Gateways operations. It is also rather unfortunate then that the first matter we must work together on is one of a rather concerning nature to both myself and to the Guild as a whole.
It has recently come to my attention that Gateway is currently operating an Orca classed gunboat, designated Gateway|-GSE-Tempest. After looking through my records I cannot seem to find any authorization for the leasing of any craft to Gateway Shipping. While I do not wish for any bad blood to develop between us, stolen technology is a rather serious matter as far as the Guild is concerned. If you are unable to provide proof of sale or lease I am afraid I must ask you to return the craft to Sheffield and we'll overlook the question of how it was obtained in the first place.
First of all I attach the regarding papers to APM Gunboat ship license: APM License. I hope this is all clear.
Secondly, the aforementioned gunboat is no longer belongs to Gateway Security Squadron, it is dismounted. Who used it are no longer member of Gateway Shipping Inc.

It appears there has been some kind of mix up, Mr. Shepard. APM is specifically the branch of AP which services the Core. They build Core ships, not Guild ones. As such this "purchase" that was made was done without consent of the Guild. I would suggest contacting them to sort this out, as it appears to be some kind of mix up on their end.
As for the ship itself, are saying that the person captaining it before ran off with Gateway property? Assuming it is still in your possession I would need it turned over at Sheffield station.
Then I will say it again. This ship is bought from Core APM. Not from Bounty Hunters Guild. I fully understand what you're interested in, but why? I don't know from where you have this intention to take this offline Core ship to Sheffield station. Better to ask from Core if you want to examine their Gunboat. And in the near future it will be towed back from where we bought it because it is no longer necessary to be used.

Mr. Shepard. These ships are designed for the Guild and with feedback and assistance from the Guild. They are also licensed to only be used by Guild members and by those given permission by the Guild.
The Orca is a more recent development of the Bounty Hunters Guild.
This excerpt is taken from the neuralnets own entry for the vessel in question. It is clearly a Guild design. One that your corporation has in its possession, without permission. If you are unwilling to return it I will be forced to take action. I do not wish for any issues between the Guild and Gateway Shipping, but stolen technology is something that the Guild takes very seriously.
I do not understand why you have to be hostile. We did not steal anything from the BHG. This is slander. Here you will find the exact location from where we took it: Feedback. And here is the successful business. Once more, I do not understand why are you forcing the hostile behavior. If we need permission to use it, we will ask for permission to use this ship in Sirius systems and of course we pay for it to avoid this stupid misunderstanding.
But this ship, according to our papers and according to the purchase agreement it belongs to Core APM. If that technology is yours I ask you to search the boat on this base: Dagger Outpost in Omega 55. The ship is not in our possession anymore. As I already said the ship was dismantled and it was towed back to Omega 55. We do not currently use such a ship. And we do not have only the documents of purchase.
I hope I was clear and understandable. If I understand it then, this problem is not with us. This problem must be solved in the place mentioned above and not to threaten us. To clarify what happened Mr. Robert Stark, our executive in charge of corporations security will join in the conversation.
