Committee of 300

A mysterious, powerful organization -also called the Illuminati- that seems to be the ultimate string-puller behind all the evil antagonists in the Science Adventure Series. Currently not much has been made explicit about them in the story-lines. However, it can be assumed that the Committee of 300 is based on the real life conspiracy theory by John Coleman about a group called the Committee of 300 or Olympians. He also calls the committee the "Hidden Hand"; a term that acts as a key password in Robotics;Notes. According to Coleman, the committee seeks to cull human population into a smaller world united under one government (reference ). In Robotics;Notes the Committee of 300 is purported to have a similar plan, called the "Human Cultivation Project".

"Human Cultivation Project" and other known projects
As mentioned above, the "Human Cultivation Project" seems to be the main goal of the Committee of 300, by which it plans to reduce the world's population to one billion and unite it under one totalitarian government. The Committee has to this end invested heavily in propaganda and a number of other projects. Major projects named so far in the Science Adventure Series are Project Noah (Chaos;Head), SERN's time machine research (Steins;Gate), Project Mars (Robotics;Notes), and Project Atom (Robotics;Notes).
