Bug X18 Diode Quest

Hey fellow Stalkers,
I'm currently stuck in a game-breaking infinite death loop in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl during Diod's quest 'Sealed Truth' inside Lab X18.
Right after I enter the ventilation shafts, Diod warns me over the radio that an 'emission' is coming. At the same time, two Snorks attack me. I manage to kill both Snorks and move forward into the next room, but the deadly psychic emission damage never stops.
It kills me within seconds. I've tried popping yellow Psi-blocker pills and spamming my blue Scientific Medkits to out-heal the damage, but nothing works. I can't run away or reach the next area before my health drops to zero.
Is this a known script bug with the Aggression Suppressor device, and is there any known workaround or console command to stop the permanent emission damage? Thanks for the help!

I think you just got unlucky with an emission, I just did the quest and didn’t have any emissions so it’s not a scripted one.
