The only reason Carolina survived in Season 10 is due to her grappling hook, allowing her to avoid hitting the bottom. This time she had no grappling hook and is seen hitting the ground hard. However, I do believe that she's still alive as the death was too unceremonious for a death in Red vs Blue.

As for Four Seven Niner, no she wasn't the pilot of the Tartarus that Felix killed, the person was just in the armor of a pilot in the Red vs Blue universe. If I remember the person who was killed made a male grunt when they died. Plus she was working for command by the time of Recovery One/Reconstruction. It's likely that if she were to be onboard the Tartarus it would be as a prisoner due to her involvement in Project Freelancer.
