So, sure, it's not like they sat down and had a cup of coffee about the Sarabi thing or anything, but he can't imagine someone so clever would be willing to invest in a researcher he hadn't found ways to look into, and it's not like a researcher like Morgan would take money from any hand that offered it - and he most certainly would not be not blithely ignorant to the Severine's particularly anti-Sarabi stance. Not when he was such a busybody, back then. )
