Project Atlácatl (Creeperian: Proyecto Atlácatl), also called the DINA Experiments (Creeperian: Experimentos de la'DINA), was the code name given to a program of various experiments on human subjects that were organized by and executed by the National Intelligence Directorate, the intelligence agency of Creeperopolis, and in certain instances, the Creeperian Army.[1] The experiments were conducted on humans, most of whom were gang members or other criminals, most notably members of Mara Salvatrucha, who were considered subhumans.[1] Officially, the experiments were labeled as "tactical scientific research" with the goal of "advancing knowledge in science," while in reality, the experiments were highly likely pseudoscientific with no basis in science that likely had the primary goal of terrorizing and intimidating the gang members of Mara Salvatrucha who were involved in the Mara War.
The project began in 1980, one year after the beginning of the Mara War in 1979.[2] Project Atlácatl continued throughout the reigns of Emperors Adolfo V and Romero III, likely with their full knowledge of its existence. The project was formulated under the tenure of Emmanuel Cabañeras Videla when he was Minister of Defense and the Chief of the DINA. The project was curtailed in 1999 with the ascension of Emperor Alfonso VI to the throne and was later halted on 1 January 2000 as a result of the controversial ceasefire agreed to by Alfonso VI and Mara Salvatrucha leadership.[3]
The project very likely engaged in several activities that would be considered extremely illegal in most jurisdictions, but according to the Creeperian government, all activities the project likely was involved in would have been deemed completely legal according to the Creeperian Constitution and other Creeperian national and departmental laws due to the wording of gang members as "subhuman." Although it is unknown what experiments the project engaged in as the pages were redacted, it his highly likely the project experimented with the usage of chemicals, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, forced drug administration, as well as other forms of torture. During the twenty years the project was active, the project's experiments likely were undertaken at several colleges and universities, hospitals, and prisons.

History
The history of Project Atlácatl is extremely vague as very little information aside from the existence of the project and what it generally did are known. The project was formulated in 1979 by Minister of Defense Emmanuel Cabañeras Videla and began in 1980.[2] It likely occurred at the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility as the Battle of Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor of 1988 was mentioned in the document.[4] The project continued until 1999 when it was curtailed and later ended in 2000 with the cease fire agreed to between Mara Salvatrucha and Emperor Alfonso VI.[5] The existence of Project Atlácatl was declassified in 2004 with the approval of Emperor Alexander II.[5]
