Some things I don't think I get, yet.

1) What, exactly, is the situation? What I understand of it is:

> SOLSTICE has ravaged the Earth. Apparently, her army now runs things on whatever is left. (How/why are they there?)

> Somehow, these four pop up after the fact and are tasked with defeating SOLSTICE (i.e. permanently disabling her.) (How do they get there?)

> They have a single year of prep time before the battle starts. (How does the battle start?) (What can be done with this prep time?)

2) Tied into the above, especially the last:

Where exactly is SOLSTICE during this time? And how much does she know about this ongoing fight? For example, does she know that she has to permanently disable all four of these individuals specifically, or does she only know that there are four individuals out for her blood? Does she know that she's in a "versus match" at all?

3) From the sounds of things, the opposed parties can interact with one another during this preparation time, and SOLSTICE does not know that she is the target of an... assassination attempt, essentially? Anyways, taking this to be the case,

For one, what occurs if SOLSTICE finds out ahead of time that there's a plot against her? What happens to the rest of the Preparation Time? Two, once the preparation time does end... then what? Under the SBA, nothing actually changes about the fight if no reason is given for doing so.

Generally I just don't think I understand the situation well enough to evaluate it clearly.
