Enkhiin Terbish, nicknamed "Thing Two", was a pioneer who served as an Able Spacer on the AISV Cicada when it crashed onto Proteus. They were one of two twins, alongside their sibling known as Thing One.
Thing Two's last known death occurred approximately 235,000 hours ago during the destruction of the Old Habitat, where they drowned due to flooding. Unlike many other pioneers, they are not known to have been reprinted following this incident, as the local biobed was destroyed.

Relevant Entry: Thing One/Thing Two - "My suffering"
THING 1: We can't swear. Try to swear.
THING 2: I can swear fine, teneg min.
THING 1: Okay. We can't swear in English.
THING 2: Why would I want to swear in English? There are no good swears in English.
THING 1: Because the NoA took all the good English swears out of our head.
THING 2: It can't do that. It can scan us, print us, or roll us back to an earlier version. It can't edit us.
THING 1: Maybe it edited out the knowledge that it can edit us.
THING 2: It can't edit our uploads because they are low-energy mortal data and NoA is a high-energy digital system. Like trying to edit fog with a knife.
THING 1: I still don't get why you're okay with the biobeds. It seems like bad Buddhism to accept eternal reincarnation into a cycle of pointless suffering.
THING 2: My suffering was already eternal and pointless because I have a twin.
