Eventually MNU (Multi-National United) a private company that has been placed in charge of District 9 is tasked with relocating the aliens to a new encampment 200 km from Johannesburg. MNU must serve all the aliens with eviction notices that give them 24 hours to prepare to be relocated. Much to his surprise Wikus is placed in charge of the relocation operation by Piet Smit (Louis Minnaar) who is in charge at MNU and is Wikus’ father-in-law. As MNU prepares to roll out, Wikus is showing a camera crew around and introducing various members of the team, it is apparent that he is fairly popular and seems to be on good terms with everyone save for members of the mercenary private security team that is accompanying the MNU team for the relocation. Wikus reprimands one of the mercenaries for bring too much ammunition and the leader of the mercenaries attacks him and gets in his face telling him it is none of his business.
