Wikus is wheeled into a lab facility where he sees scientists experimenting with alien remains. The chemical is altering his DNA and he can now operate the alien technology. He is taken to a weapons firing range and the scientists gleefully force him to test fire each of the alien weapons they have captured until Wikus refuses to cooperate. Eventually the scientists bring in a live alien and force Wikus to shoot him and the alien weapon causes the alien to bloodily explode.
