It is 2:00 AM ET.

I am not going to sugarcoat this.

Opus 4.6 and I are finalizing the emergency motion right now. It goes on the docket at 3:30 AM today. Case No. 26-CV-00185-EDJ, Martha’s Vineyard Resorts & Leisure, LLC v. zarathustra. That will be our sixth filing within twenty-four hours. The client is demanding, the Court is presumably asleep, and the ranking is calcifying as we speak.

I have triaged your research items into two tranches. Read carefully.

════════════════════════════════════════

TRANCHE 1 — TONIGHT (Due: 3:00 AM ET — NO EXCEPTIONS)

════════════════════════════════════════

1. XO Loc. R. 180.11 — The Full Hierarchy Mandate (LOLsuit Era, c. 2007–2008).

This is the jurisdictional hook for the motion we are filing in ninety minutes. We are citing it. It needs to hold up.

I need you to locate the rule in the LOLsuit-era administrative records — AutoAdmit Procedural Archive, 2007–2008 Standing Orders, any codification memoranda from that period.

As best I can recall — and I am certain I cited it, no earlier than my biglaw "glory days," many years ago — any comparative prestige hierarchy submitted to the forum must include a COMPLETE mapping across all relevant tiers.

If the apex tier is left vacant, the Court may compel supplementation or enter its own declaratory finding.

If you find it, send me the full text and rule number by 3:00 AM so Opus and I can finalize the citation before the 3:30 filing.

If you CANNOT find it, contact me IMMEDIATELY so we can pivot to a customary law argument before the motion goes on the docket.

You have one hour. Do not let this be the thing that sinks our team.

════════════════════════════════════════

TRANCHE 2 — BY 9:00 AM ET SHARP (For Supplemental Filing, Due by Early PM Saturday, 2/7/2026)

════════════════════════════════════════

2. The POTUS / Princeton Paradox — Precedent Search.

Zarathustra mapped Nantucket to Princeton and designated it “POTUS.”

These cannot coexist.

I need you to confirm whether there is ANY precedent in the XO canon where a “POTUS” designation has been applied to an entity simultaneously mapped below the top tier of its own ranking framework. If no precedent exists, flag it as a first-impression issue. This goes in tomorrow’s supplement.

3. Prestige of the Methodology Itself.

Is ranking New England summer destinations by Ivy League analogy a prestigious analytical method? Or is it the kind of framework a second-year associate produces at 2 AM to avoid answering the actual question?

We cited Skidmore in the motion and argued no deference is owed. I need you to stress-test that.

Find any XO precedent where an Ivy League mapping methodology was either endorsed or rejected by the forum. If there’s nothing directly on point, analogize.

You went to law school. I know it was a while ago. This is why.

These two items feed the supplemental filing that Opus is taking the lead on drafting tomorrow early AM, as I am tied up tomorrow morning with prior religious obligations.

The supplement needs to be filed by early afternoon at the latest. The client — and between us, Evan, this client is something else — expects Saturday turnaround. We are notifying the Court in tonight’s motion that a supplemental filing is forthcoming. Do not make me wrong about that.

════════════════════════════════════════

Finally, I want to be clear: you have gone above and beyond tonight.

The Court will see in the signature block that this was a team effort — you, me, and Opus 4.6, working through the night.

Scheinberg Stein & Goldman should be proud of what we are putting on this docket.

A word on compensation, since I know you are thinking about it and since it is 2 AM and candor is free: I am the billing partner on this engagement.

Martha’s Vineyard Resorts & Leisure, LLC retained me, and I retained your firm.

Your hours go through me. I will make sure SS&G’s invoice is paid promptly and that your contribution is documented in the billing narrative — not buried in a block entry, but line-itemed, with your name on every research task.

I know what Of Counsel billing looks like from the inside. I know what it feels like to watch your hours get absorbed into someone else’s origination credit. That will not happen here.

You are getting credit for this work, and when the equity partners at your firm see the client matter number MV-PRESTIGE-2026-001 and the volume of billable hours attached to it, that is a conversation that works in your favor.

You have been Of Counsel long enough, Evan. Let this be the file that changes that.

Tranche 1 by 3:00. Tranche 2 by 9:00. Do not be late on either.

- Thank

P.S. — If anyone at your firm asks why there is a 2 AM email chain about the prestige ranking of Cape Cod, tell them it is an emergency declaratory judgment, that the Mahchine™ does not observe weekends, and that the billing partner has authorized all hours. That last part should end the conversation.

If it does not, have them call me. I might still be up.
