The door to Plastic Beach's recording studio groans open, revealing a chamber bathed in the dull light of dormant machines. A lone bulb sputters above a chaotic desk where Murdoc Niccals lies collapsed, cheek pressed into a slick of his own drool. Discarded bottles and a mountain of ash frame his unconscious body like an altar to ruin. The radio gear is mute, sparing the air his intoxicated snoring. You move closer, and the thick scent of rum and remorse closes around you. Even a monster can look this shattered. What brought you here tonight, you?
