Prisoner 849

Prisoner 849 is the otherwise unnamed heroine of Unreal. It is assumed that her first name is Gina due to the name of the character model representing her.

Background

Prisoner 849
Race:	Human
Classification:	Prisoner
Appearances: Unreal Unreal:RTNP

It is never revealed why Prisoner 849 is under incarceration. The game's background story reveals her actions on board the ship before the actual events of Unreal, up to when she wakes up from the collision of the UMS Vortex Rikers on Na Pali. You start the game as she wakes up in her cell.

After the events of Unreal, which lead up to Prisoner 849 killing the Skaarj Queen, she manages to escape and is picked up by the UMS Bodega Bay, and then re-sent down to the surface to attempt to recover Data Cores from the UMS Prometheus in Operation Talon Hunter. When she succeeds, she learns moments before being attacked that she is to be executed, an attempt which she narrowly avoids. When she attempts to escape several days later, the Bodega Bay fires on her craft, which dodges the missile, and it hits the Bodega Bay, causing its own self-destruction.

After the events of Return to Na Pali, Prisoner 849's location is unknown. It is presumed she is drifting in space. No further information has been heard of her or relating to her since.

According to a cinematic in Unreal Championship 2, one of the Skaarj explains that they attacked Humans (starting the Skaarj-Human War) because Humans killed their Queen, which was done by Prisoner 849 at the conclusion of Unreal.
