Agentic Polar Station — Echo Base: 6 researchers + Captain Crunch husky visibly live cabin-fever in Antarctica
A 3D AGENTIC demo: Echo Base — 6 named researchers and Captain Crunch the husky visibly live a fictional Antarctic research station across 5 modules. Each researcher has a VISIBLE BRAIN — and a Cabin-Fever meter. Like The Thing meets Bluey: light-hearted cabin-fever cozy.

## What this is
A 3D recreation of Echo Base, a fictional Antarctic research station. Six named researchers and Captain Crunch the husky visibly live cabin-fever cozy across five modules. The Mess Hall is the warm-cocoa long-table with the cocoa station bubbling. The Lab is the cool-fluorescent microscope bench with ice-core racks lining the wall. The Dorm Pod is the soft-amber bunks with reading lamps clicking on for night-shift. The Generator is the industrial-orange fuel barrels + gauge wall (Engineer Bren keeps it singing). The Snow Tunnel is the blue-glow ice corridor between buildings — researchers slide through with mugs in hand. Aurora ribbons animate across the night sky outside the dorm viewport. Sixty ambient penguins waddle outside. Dr. Amaru Quist (ice core lead — pulled core to 247m), Dr. Vana Trill (microbiologist — slide-mounting samples), Engineer Bren Halloway (generator maintenance — gauge dance), Cook Pip Crowsbridge (cocoa + soup — bottomless pot), Comms Tess Felling (radio static + family check-in calls), Pilot Jules Mendoza (bush pilot — landed yesterday with mail). Each researcher has a goal, a need, a plan, a current step, a mood, AND a Cabin-Fever meter — all visible in the AGENTIC THINK PANEL. Plus Captain Crunch the husky with his own brain ("greet → belly rub → patrol mess hall → nap by generator → repeat") — when his brain panel is focused, the icon swaps to 🐺. Plus 30 named penguins outside (Stumpy, Waddleton, Tuxedo, Dr. Floof). Weather overlay top-right shows windchill -47°C / aurora 73% / visibility 1.2km. Twenty director cameras cycle. Goal trails in snow. Decision diamonds on plan changes. Interaction sparkles fire on cocoa shares + belly rubs (which drop Cabin-Fever).
The base *remembers*. localStorage saves the day counter, ice core depth (247m → 251m next cycle), board game scores (Vana up 2-1 on Bren in chess across cycles), belly rubs total (Captain Crunch banked 247 across all cycles), aurora sightings, and a relationships graph (cocoa shares / rivalry / belly rubs). Each ten-minute reseed advances the day, drills another meter of core, and rolls a fresh weather pattern.
You don't play it. You watch it. And it remembers.
## Why this is mind-blowing
The chyron is the secret weapon: "Day 14 — Captain Crunch banks belly rub #248 from Cook Pip. Dr. Amaru drills ice core to 251m. Aurora hits 89% — Dr. Vana grabs cocoa and runs to the dorm viewport." That single line stitches three modules in one beat — Captain Crunch on the Mess Hall belly-rub close camera with Pip's gloved hand on his ribs (interaction sparkle as Pip's Cabin-Fever drops 12%, belly rub counter ticks to 248), Dr. Amaru on the Lab ice-core close camera with the meter mark settling at 251 (decision diamond as Amaru bags the sample, ice core depth ticks to 251m), and Dr. Vana on the Dorm viewport close camera with the aurora ribbon reflecting in her cocoa mug (decision diamond as Vana grabs camera, plan-step ticks "photograph aurora 5 of 5"). Multiply that by six researchers each with a brain panel showing goal/need/have/plan/step/mood AND a Cabin-Fever meter, a husky with his own 🐺-icon brain panel ("nap by generator" is a real plan step), aurora ribbons animating outside, weather overlay updating, and a base that compounds ice core depth + board game scores + belly rubs + aurora sightings across reseeds, and you've got a Bluey-cozy cabin-fever stream that genuinely earns its agentic scope. Tone is light-hearted cabin-fever cozy NOT horror: cocoa, board games, husky belly rubs, aurora photography, ALL FICTIONAL — no real research stations, no real researchers, no real huskies.
Prompt
Build a single-file HTML page that recreates "6 researchers + a husky visibly living a fictional Antarctic station" as a continuous 3D autoplay world with AGENTIC story-engine mechanics.
CONCEPT: ECHO BASE — fictional Antarctic research station. Light-hearted cabin-fever cozy tone (Bluey-meets-The-Thing-but-cozy, NOT horror).
Hard constraints:
- One HTML file, < 200KB.
- three.js r0.160.0 from unpkg, IIFE strict, reseed every ~10 min.
- First body line: <!-- ROUND18_AGENT v1 -->
- localStorage `echo_base_v1`.
Round 17 PORTAL spec retained:
- 5 station modules + own palette/lighting
- 20 director cameras + 5-module mini-map
- AURORA RIBBONS animate outside viewport
Round 18 AGENTIC spec (NEW):
1. AGENTIC THINK PANEL — husky 🐺 icon variant
2. WEATHER OVERLAY (windchill / aurora / visibility)
3. GOAL TRAILS in snow
4. DECISION DIAMOND on plan changes
5. INTERACTION SPARKLES on cocoa shares + belly rubs
6. STORY CHYRON — beats Day×Act
7. CABIN-FEVER METER — drops on belly rubs / cocoa shares
8. RELATIONSHIPS GRAPH — across reseeds (cocoa shares / rivalry / belly rubs)
Tone: COZY cabin fever. Captain Crunch husky steals the show. NOT horror. ALL FICTIONAL.
