Description: SCP-6404 referred to a phenomenon where all individuals named "Tallakant" at any point in their lives2 became a part of a collective hivemind. Once an individual became an SCP-6404 instance, there was no way to disconnect them from the hivemind. All SCP-6404 instances were capable of operating on the individual level, but actively shared the same thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. On average, SCP-6404 instances sought out employment in the following areas: Education Research, specifically in areas related to the spread and treatment of infectious diseases Visual and performing arts Government positions, specifically those relating to employment, welfare, and international relations Charity work Social activism Records indicate that the Tallakant name existed since the early 5th century, with several notable individuals having the name. SCP-6404 instances throughout history notably participated in exploration, social development, and cultural exchange.

It is believed that upon decommissioning of SCP-6404, there were approximately one billion individuals named Tallakant.
