Behind Enemy Lines I: Rescue the stranded HMS-Argosax from the GRN

After this thread was created. But that's besides the point.

From a GRN perspective;
1.) No Marechal would travel outside of a battleship. And our battleships always travel with escorts.
2.) GRN watches the jumpholes to Sirius vigilantly. There are only two entrances into/out of Gallia. One is the minefield in Lorraine, the other is the minefield in Languedoc. Both are surrounded by minefields and guarded by heavily fortified bases which, in-roleplay, have a battlegroup operating with them to ensure border security. A lone battleship would get nowhere. Some fighters and bombers could probably make it through, by just running through and not fighting the defense forces. A battleship cannot do that, it'd get caught and pounced on.
3.) Blowing up a ship =/= capturing its VIP. When you blow up a ship, the passengers aboard die, unfortunately. You'd have to board the ship and take him. All the while slowing you down and keeping you in place while the fleet the liner called for help comes bearing down on you.
4.) Since Marechals only travel in their own battleships, not liners, a Valor can defeat a Dunkirk in a one-on-one fight. Oh, and again; they don't travel without escorts..
5.) We don't need Marechals from New Paris to provide a morale boost for our soldiers. If we needed morale boosts, we'd have the King make another transmission to his soldiers. Also, the Grande Marechal operates from the Front Lines.

From a BAF perspective;
1.) Why the hell is a Dunkirk captain taking his ship into Gallia without orders.
2.) Why the hell is a Dunkirk captain traveling around without escort.
3.) This event doesn't make sense with Bretonia's defensive strategy of delaying actions trying to keep GRN out of New London long enough for us to rebuild our navy and collect support from other groups.
4.) Why the hell is a Dunkirk captain taking his ship into Gallia without orders.
