Defeating the Parasite Queen and passing through Reactor Core changes layers in these rooms that are traversed during the Frigate escape sequence:

Parasite Queen Forcefield

The forcefield guarding Parasite Queen starts rotating once the room is loaded, even before the Parasite Queen fight is initiated. This has implications for speedruns, as skipping the cutscene at the correct time will set up the forcefield in the correct position for an optimal fight. The timing for the cutscene skip differs between Single Segment and Segmented speedruns.
