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

[Caselia]

its about as hard as running to a high level area on a level 1 alt. which is to say easy, if youre careful.
pick your fights, take your time, you'll get there

Take my time? Please, don't be absurd. This is Final Fantasy XIV, I should have been done the moment I entered the duty and saw the first bit of dialogue or better yet; the moment I got past the login queue. Shake my head...saying to take my time. What a joker.
