Précis

The team discovers that Anubis left behind a mutant human, Khalek, with both his genetic memories and the potential to ascend. Even after Daniel warns of the incredible danger keeping Khalek alive poses, IOC representative Woolsey insists studying him could give the SGC valuable information in their fight against the equally advanced Priors of the Ori.

In a lab where Anubis had been performing genetic experiments, SG-1 discovers a human man in stasis, named Khalek. They release him and bring him back to the SGC, but Daniel comes to realize that as a highly evolved human, he is a grave threat. Khalek possesses the genetic memories of Anubis as well as the potential to ascend on his own, though he doesn't know it yet. Daniel wonders whether they should kill him, or at least put him back in stasis. Daniel finally gets Khalek to admit that, through his memories of his 'father' Anubis, he remembers Daniel, and he remembers the great pleasure Anubis had in having millions of slaves bow before him. But what Khalek desires most of all is to experience, as Anubis did, the sweetness of killing another being for the first time. He predicts that before it is over, either he or Daniel will have had that pleasure.

Teal'c and Mitchell travel to Dakara to seek advice from the Jaffa So'Kresh. So'Kresh served under Anubis and was aware of his genetic experiments. He'd heard that Anubis was trying to build an army of Mashur, mutants who would ascend to the realm of the Ancients and fight them, in revenge for what Anubis had suffered at their hands.

Meanwhile at the SGC, NID Attorney Richard Woolsey has arrived and tells General Landry that the committee overseeing the SGC wants Khalek to be studied, not placed in stasis, in spite of the threat he poses.

The episode Prototype is the first contribution this season from a writer new to SG-1, Alan McCullough. "In this story, our heroes attempt to gate onto a planet but end up somewhere else," he explains. "They discover that this gate has a protective device that's designed to keep people away from the planet. They manage to override it, though, and arrive on the planet to find a lab with a very unique and advanced individual inside it. This episode plays a great deal on the show's established mythology, so that was a challenge in that I had to do plenty of research." — TV Zone Special #64
