In the previous runs quite a bit of precision was involved in avoiding this to happen, but you can actually walk around the trigger and dash through it and above the wall from behind, making the trick very easy. When the cutscene starts, invisible walls rise from the floor and block your exit. It is quite a tricky jump that took some effort to iron out, and a much easier alternative that you might think would work - activate the trigger, rush to the exit before the cutscene starts, then return to the sector hoping that the cutscene 'goes away' - fails. On my way back I step into the trigger so I move quickly to the exit to prevent the cutscene from starting. The first one is in Engineering, where I jump over the trigger that activates the body of the many cutscene. The use of speed boosters makes possible three major skips in the game. This time he was quite literally one step away from ruining the run. That rumbler, dancing near the security crate from which I make a jump over the railings, have an annoying habit of putting himself right in my way. In this run the closest moment when that could become trouble happens in the Rickenbaker. First, you can't do death-abuses, and also, since you move openly without invisibility, you stir up the local public who can be quite a hassle sometimes. There are some minor adverse effects as well. This allows for active use of speed boosters, which double your speed and also happen to be very cheap to dublicate, as they are not sold in the replicators.

Additionaly, for some reason the game gives you 1 health point, but most importantly you become completely invulnerable to all forms of damage - falling, radiation, bullets, pipes - nothing can kill you. However, if you die while flying in mid air and then land on a ladder, you automatically grab it which results in the controls being restored, and moving to a new area allows you to stay in the game forever. Normally, death in the game without QBR machine activated is followed by two things: your controls are disabled and a few seconds later you are thrown out to the main menu. The single most important thing in the run takes place in the maintenance conduit at the two minutes mark.
