Wikus wakes up and finds himself in the hidden drop ship, which Christopher and his son have been repairing with the intention of returning to the mother ship and using the chemical to return to their home world. He tells Wikus that if they can get to the mother ship there are machines that can return Wikus to human, but they need the fuel to power the ship. Wikus tells him that it is at MNU headquarters and retrieving it would be a suicide mission
