The story
In 1982, an extraterrestrial mothership arrives and hovers over Johannesburg, South Africa.
They finally fill an entire container in Paul's shack as the relocation begins, but when Wikus comes to serve Paul a notice, he finds the hidden container and accidentally sprays some fuel into his face.
When there, Wikus discovers the grisly medical experiments, including vivisections the scientists were performing on the Prawns.
