Lemma 40.14.8. Let (U, R, s, t, c) be a groupoid scheme. If s, t are finite, and u, u' \in R are distinct points in the same orbit, then u' is not a specialization of u.
Proof. Let r \in R with s(r) = u and t(r) = u'. If u \leadsto u' then we can find a nontrivial specialization r \leadsto r' with s(r') = u', see Schemes, Lemma 26.19.8. Set u'' = t(r'). Note that u'' \not= u' as there are no specializations in the fibres of a finite morphism. Hence we can continue and find a nontrivial specialization r' \leadsto r'' with s(r'') = u'', etc. This shows that the orbit of u contains an infinite sequence u \leadsto u' \leadsto u'' \leadsto \ldots of specializations which is nonsense as the orbit t(s^{-1}(\{ u\} )) is finite. \square
