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

Sorry but I absolutely loved this quest. It was frustratingly amazing. That's what I'd call it. Tough, scary, and for the first time in the whole game you feel truly powerless and weak. I personally even lost the first fight because I didn't grasp the fact that I wasn't an unstoppable force anymore. Didn't use the defense buff because I thought I wouldn't need it. Didn't use the attack buff at the right time either. It ended with us both dying at the same time, which I feel is the perfect example of what they were trying to portray: WoL is a powerhouse of biblical proportions, while any other normal soldier is most certainly not. And having to run around and scavenge made it feel all the more perilous. Then the area after that part was a cherry on top. Absolutely frustratingly amazing, and I'd love to see more of these moments of self-realization and reflection.

If you're having too much trouble, Very Easy is for you. That's what they put it there for. That said, I don't know how easier it is in that setting since I kept it on Normal, but I imagine it'd be...well, alot easier.
