+At the beginning of the game, the ship is attacked and abducted by [[Shadow Lugia]], throwing two crewmen overboard. According to [[ONBS]], these crewmen had not been found three days after the incident and there are no future reports suggesting they have ever had been. Due to a momentary loss of control over Shadow Lugia, the ship ends up falling in the middle of a desert. This results in Cipher having their {{tc|Cipher Admin|Admin}} [[Snattle]] take over the nearby [[Phenac City]] in order to keep its citizens from interfering with Admin [[Gorigan]]'s mission to recover the Pokémon aboard the ship and have them be taken to the [[Cipher Key Lair]] in the north in order to turn them into [[Shadow Pokémon]].
-After saving Phenac, [[Michael]], the hero of the game, tries to go to the S.S. Libra. However, the sand proves to be too unstable for the scooter to drive on and he is forced to turn back. When [[Makan]] and [[Perr]] convert his scooter to a hoverscooter, now that he can go there, Michael journeys to the S.S. Libra.
+When the {{player}} first learns of Cipher's activities in the desert, they are unable to reach the location due to their scooter's tires getting stuck in the deep sand. After the scooter is upgraded into a hover scooter, the player is able to reach the shipwreck in the desert. There, it is revealed that Gorigan's recovery operation has been completed, with only a single Pokémon having managed to escape. After the player has defeated {{tc|Cipher Peon}} Smarton, they meet a {{tc|Worker}} who had randomly stumbled upon the ship and made his home there. On his request, the player then investigates the odd noises he's been hearing from inside of the ship. The cause of the noises turns out to be the sole Pokémon missed by Cipher, a {{p|Bonsly}}, which will run away from the player if they approach it too fast. Just when the player is about to sneak up on Bonsly, they will receive an email on their [[P★DA]], the alarm noise scaring Bonsly and causing it to leave the ship. It can later be found and caught at a random [[Poké Spot]], after which it's returned to its owner at [[ONBS]].
-The S.S. Libra has a hole in the side of its hull which people can walk through. The ship is now a makeshift home for a man living in it.
+Once the player tries to leave the ship after Bonsly has run away, a group of [[Team Snagem]] members ambush them upon their exit and steal their [[Snag Machine]].
-A {{p|Bonsly}} belonging to a Trainer at the [[ONBS]] had lived in the ship's hold, but when Michael tried to approach it, it was scared away by Michael's [[P★DA]] and flees.
+Later in the game, a [[television|TV]] report reveals that authorities have also found the ship.
+{{endspoilers}}
-When Michael walks out of the ship, he is ambushed by [[Team Snagem|Snagem Goons]] and his Snag Machine is stolen. This is also where {{tc|Cipher Admin}} [[Gorigan]] is first encountered.
+To fully explore most of the ship, the player must push several heavy crates around, not unlike the {{m|Strength}} puzzles in the [[core series]] games. The player can use the bed on 4F to fully heal their Pokémon at any time.
+{{left clear}}
-To fully explore most of the ship, Michael must push several heavy crates around, not unlike a [[Strength (move)|Strength]] puzzle in other games. The S.S. Libra has five floors in all.

-* The inaccessible half of the ship represents an open shark's mouth protruding from the "water" (which, in this situation, is sand). It even appears to have eyes, and a small set of teeth (though certainly not the number a shark would have).
