And, as someone conjectured, SDO may not know about modern Bud at all. thinking she is still locked up in a crystal. Another interesting possibility. Bud showing up as a mummy wannabe lends credence to that one. Either that, or it's just another confusion factor thrown in.
The thing I'm still hung up on is why SDO would kill Kath. As far as I can see Kath is her creation. Why kill her off? If she was just a tool to kill the crystal inhabitants, she didn't need a specially merged baby to do that. As I see it, Kath was her answer to Shelly (and Bia's plans). Not necessarily as an adversary, but as a better alternative to some impending showdown.
Anyway, It'll be satisfying to see that smug smile wiped off SDO's face for once.
i'm sure that SDO knows about Modern Bud... she knows quite a bit about everything that MIB does, as it's Sr. Director... and knowing that Bud is active in this time is definitely one of those things a Sr. Director will know about...i think that Bud showing up as a mummy is specifically designed to throw a swerve to SDO's thoughts, AND to jog LILY'S memory.... the last time she (probably) saw Bud, that's how Bud looked (when she was still designated as "Defense" for the Ethitians)... and Brandi/SDO was "Science Director Brandilyn" (very similar to Senior Director, hmmm...)... Lily will have an epiphany of remembering her original life of 5000 years ago, the night the world ended (as SDO told it anyway)... then there will be the "WTF!!! you were supposed to PROTECT US, NOT KILL US!!!" angst... AGAIN, throwing an anvil in the gearworks of SDO's plans... that's why SDO asked her what she knew already of the Mapimi Silent Zone... to determine what she would need to spin to tell the most convincing lies... i'll bet that Lily does NOT know that her entire tribe was even stored there at all! and that she thinks it's some other kind of facility (if even that) entirely!...
SDO wants to kill Katherine (and Lily for that matter) for the pure and simple reason that Kat (and Lily) are Ethitian... no more, no less... the nu gui that came from the death of that baby wants nothing less than the destruction of ALL those that are to blame and the lack of restraint because Kat wasn't even BORN YET, makes not one iota of a difference to SDO... BUT to BRANDI!! whoah... just wait till she finds out about SDO's plans... also, i'm pretty sure that BRANDI correctly programmed the stargate's sorting system to have everyone saved properly and in a NON-conscious state (well, ok maybe she messed up on the Quads part, but still...) i think that they would have been perfectly able to revive them even after 5k years... i think that after SDO turned off Bud at Mapimi, she went and reset the computer crystals to have all the occupants be conscious in order to mentally torture them before she got Kat to finish them off 5k years later (i still say that SDO's orders to have Lily and gang accompany Kat (alone) to the Mapimi Silent Zone and either die... or since they are Vampires, they would have survived somehow and have their story as corroborating evidence that KAT screwed up and activated the self-destruct but died in the process (though since Atsali did it instead of Kat, that's the first bit of a kink in the plan that SDO doesn't even know about yet)... THAT'S why Kat was pulled out of her individual crystal way back when, and placed into that stasis chamber? artificial womb? thing that was in the chamber that the test missile crash hit... which, i for one, don't think it was a "crash": though I'm waffling between it being SDO trying to kill off the whole complex at once, but the missile was a dud!, OR that she determined that the "stars were right" for Kat to be released in order that her plans could continue, so she PROGRAMMED that missile to do PRECISELY what it DID do, she just didn't TELL anyone about it and let them think it was an accident... when and why LILY and the 5 other women were released out into that sandstorm a thousand years after they got stored... no clue... maybe they were the test cases where Bud /Brandi /Jin? tried to "un-blend" them upon revivification, or they were trying on them before they went to Katherine's crystal, but it wasn't successful so they stopped after only 6 of them... and SDO wanted to get rid of the evidence, so she poited them there. again, to die in the sandstorm... but she might not have anticipated one of them dying and coming back as a vampire...
