If you've ever tried the Agent strat on SA/00A, you'd find out that it is in fact possible to get a grenade without changing the route at all. A random guard can spawn in such a way that he is right outside the satellite dish when you get there. So you could definately get sub 1 min doing Agent strat on SA/00A (and very good Fast Exits). But why do we never see him on Agent? The reason lies in some subtle differences between the difficulties on Surface 1.
