| abstract | - The BOTTLE SHIP(ボトルシップBotoru Shippu) was a decommissioned space facility. This "derelict space station" at Cosmos region A47 was the setting of Metroid: Other M. Samus Aran enters the station after her gunship receives a distress signal from it codenamed "Baby's Cry". She explores the ship and encounters the Galactic Federation 07th Platoon headed by Adam Malkovich. The group defeats the Brug Mass and then splits up to explore the rest of the space station. The BOTTLE SHIP is surrounded by space dust, making the station look as if it is destroyed, and effectively adding to the abandoned/derelict atmosphere created by the ship. The ship is later revealed to be a secret facility of the Galactic Federation containing many different lifeforms with the purpose of turning them into bioweapons, as well as breeding an army modelled after the Zebesian Pirate forces. The program is falsely indicated under Adam Malkovich's name. The facility eventually abandoned the Space Pirate-inspired army after the crew managed to breed a Queen Metroid and propagate Metroids in Sector Zero and interfaced with them via an A.I. in an android body named MB. The A.I is modelled after Mother Brain's and is able to communicate with Metroids through telepathy. However, at one point, MB went rampant and controlled the Space Pirate Forces to murder every Lab Worker except Madeline Bergman, the development director, who hid somewhere in the BOTTLE SHIP. The rogue android, claiming that all humans must be "judged", pilots the ship on an intercept course with the Galactic Federation as an attempt to attack and destroy it, but this plan was crushed completely when Samus and Adam intervened. Shortly after Samus leaves, the Federation decides to destroy the BOTTLE SHIP. Samus returns to retrieve Adam's helmet, and escapes suitless from the exploding ship. When Samus first met MB (while she posed as Madeline Bergman), she had a vision of weapons being fired at the BOTTLE SHIP, creating a much more violent explosion than what is depicted in-game. Interestingly, this "vision" plays if Samus fails to escape in time. It would seem that some of the specimens from the BOTTLE SHIP were transferred to the Biologic Space Laboratories research station and reappeared in the sequel, Metroid Fusion. This transfer would most likely have taken place when The Colonel and his soldiers arrived on the ship. Among the specimens that were moved were the bodies of Ridley's clone and Nightmare.
- Das Bottle Ship besteht aus 7 Arealen: Auf die Kontrollbücke gelangt man erst nach dem Kampf mit der Metroid-Königin. Hier muss man dann gegen Phantoon und seine Hände kämpfen. Im Hauptsektor ist Adam stationiert und gibt von dort die Befehle. Dort ist auch der Hangar. Sektor 0 ist der Standort, wo die Wissenschaftler des Bottle Ship die Metroids hielten. Dies ist der Einzige Sektor, den man nicht betreten kann. Sektor 1/Biosphäre ist eine Dschungellandschaft. In diesem Sektor liegt außerdem die Biowaffen Forschungs Einrichtung, in der die Metroid-Königin gehalten wurde. Sektor 1 ist der einzige Sektor, in dem man die Holoprojektoren an- bzw. ausschalten muss um weiterzukommen. Zu dem befindet sich hier das Biowaffen Testgelände. Hier trifft man auf Ridleys adoleszente Form. Mitunter ist dies der Sektor, in den man immer wieder zurückkehren muss. Sektor 2/Kryosphäre ist eine Eislandschaft mit einem Kommandoturm. Zudem gelangt man nur durch diesen Sektor zum Sektor 0. Man trifft MB hier zum ersten Mal. Sektor 3/Pyrosphäre ist eine Feuerlandschaft mit einer Lavaraffinerie. Hier muss man gegen die ausgewachsene Form Ridleys kämpfen. Im Biowaffen Forschungs Zentrum werden Experimente mit Metroids durchgefüht. Auch MB hat hier ihren Ursprung.
