Hostage in Base Contact with Bane Token

[CODADsunshine]

Question: If a unit equipped with the "Hostage" upgrade card is deployed in base contact with an enemy Bane token, and at the start of round one that token is revealed to be the Here I Am token (which would normally result in Cad Bane being placed into base contact and engaged with the other unit), since Cad Bane cannot start a melee with the Hostage unit, what happens?

Hello,

Normally, Cad Bane would be placed in base contact, starting a melee, and the two units would be engaged. However, the Hostage card prevents enemy units from starting a melee, so the player that controls Cad Bane instead places him as close as possible to the Hostage unit but not in base contact with it.
