Anubis told Baal? Insiders SPOILERS

[nimrandir]

In Insiders Baal told SG-1 that He have some idea about the Weapon to "destroy" ascended beings because Anubis had told him. But this make no sense, I mean, I greatly doubt Anubis would had told Baal anything like "... and you know, in one of these planets there might be a weapon with wich yoo could destroy ME".

So my Point is, Did I get that wrong? Or if I got it right, How else could Baal Have learned the possible location of the weapon in a planet the does not have the gate-address.

[gkyun]

I'm sure Anubis must have thought that the weapon wouldn't work on him since he was only half-ascended. So I guess he thought there was no harm in telling Ba'al.

[Dutch_Razor]

Yep I agree, maybe it doesn't work on him (or )

[LiquidBlue]

I seriously doubt Anubis would have told Baal about the weapon even if somehow he was immune, and someshow he had acquired knowledge of its existence independently of his ascended knowledge. Both of these being rather large ifs.

Rather the origins of his knowledge is hinted at within the episode itself.

(1) Somehow he acquired sufficient knowledge of the SGC so as to defeat its defenses.
(2) Mention is made of his previous covert infiltration of earth.
(3) It is seriously hinted that he managed to brainwash the NID agent (whose name escapes me at the moment.)

I find it reasonable that he learned of Merlin's weapon from he contacts on earth. He did after all pull multiple bluffs throughout the episode.

Agent Barret.

Just think Barret M82 .50 cal (like the one in my sig) when you see him and you'll probably remember

Well, Anubis was planning on attacking the Ascended Beings.

It's part of the storyline of the episode "Prototype", which was never fully explained on screen:

Khalek was the first of an Army Anubis planned to build, an army of beings that, when sufficently large in quantity, would all ascend and destroy the ancients, or at least distract them long enough so that Anubis himself could regain normal ascended form, and then wipe them out.

So yes, Anubis was indeed trying to kill the other Ascended Beings, he could've known about the Ori, but they would just be the other bird to die by the same stone.

[Anubis-]

It is not Goa'uld like to tell others any information, witch can help other Goa'uld.

Yeah, it is true.

"An earlier draft of the script for "Prototype" explained just what Anubis's purposes were for Khalek. He was the prototype of an army of warriors called the Mashur (from the Goa'uld word for "mutation," "mashur-nat"), which Anubis hoped to train to ascend and do battle with the Ancients on their own plane of existence and destroy them -- something ultimately cut from the episode."

mayeb he told him about it cuase he always planned on killing Ba'al anyway when he killed every one with the Dakarra device.

Why was Anubis told about the weapon? The Ancient's let him have information about a weapon capable of killing ascended beings, but not about the whereabouts of Atlantis?

Well it's not what they let him, it's what he was able to learn before being half-sent.

Anubis being who he is, a weapon was probably the first thing that came to his mind.

[Metonic]

Anubis is a God not like those ancient wannabies... he is uneffected in all ways lol

[Mitchell82]

I don't think Anubis told Baal, but he probably got the information from his database, or it's more likely that baal found out b/c he was the head of the trust.

[Ranlier]

I do not beleive Anubis told Ba'al about the weapon. When the Ba'al clone captured Teal'c, he mentioned no such thing, and was in fact giving the impression that he was racking his brain trying to find out how to defeat them.

If he knew about the device beforehand, he would invest all his energy in finding it. He must have learned about it via the Trust later on.

Seems reasonable to me. Besides, we all know how much Goa'ulds like to gloat about things. I'm sure Anubis went on and on about all his grand plans for the universe.
