Saturnine: congrats on the new WR of 3:16!
In mission 2's "distract the looters" room where you'd normally turn off the generator and climb under the floor, it is actually 20+ seconds faster to throw a flare to the right side of the room (into the far doorway on the right that you'd enter to get to the generator console) and then crouchwalk/moonwalk left - directly through the middle of the room where the humans start. Whether 20+ seconds is worth use of a flare this early in the game remains to be seen, but FYI.
