Last voyage of the Aqualus

I'll probably post a review after I get further in (finally getting around to playing this for myself!), but I really love the atmosphere of this map. Almost feels like a full 3D adventure game, like if you could walk around freely in Myst.
 
Took me a while, but found all secrets!

I gave this another try, circa the 7th, and found secrets 24/27. With option number 25, the plasma rifle under the grid, which I never was able to grab.
But maybe I found a nice little softlock. It's in the room with the big monster where I make the concoction, or whatever this is.
For the first time I jumped into this machine (0001.jpg) by the destroyed - transistors ??? don't know.
I couldn't jump out. Looks a little cramped in it.
Also I wondered if there's really no shortcut in the last section to jump back into the big area.
Thank you again for this wonderful map. Time to play Teuthis again.

It is a softlock, I didn't clip or invisiblewalled the "entrance" to this machine. There is a way back into the main area, a wall breaks at about the same time the chronosphere becomes accessible, down the stairs near the spot where you find a submerged backpack.
