"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

[Alleo]

I wished they would have put quest markers down if we put it on very easy...because the amount of time I needed even on that difficulty was annoying.

But honestly the most annoying thing was how it did not make any sense...so what if we died from the explosion? What then Zenos? What did we as a character truly learn from this? A few sentences later and all is forgotten. And how did we manage to get there in time when we were not able to walk at the end?
