: And I still have a niggling curiosity as to what the "Other
: Trigger" sector is...
Rampant speculations ahoy!
Marathon got plenty of mileage out of "must be explored" areas. Maybe the "detour" on Lock&Load was originally required, and the door to the ladder was going to remain locked until you passed through that area and faced those Zombies? With no apparent connection between them, that would be frustrating, but it seems like par for the course in Jason Jones level design.
If you know what you're doing, you're likely to hit Barney's other-trigger zone just after snagging the Lead Box. As the Easter Egg page explains, that's the first chance you have for successfully completing the game, assuming you picked up all the other goodies along the way. Maybe you once felt it wouldn't be sly to eat the egg before that point?
Alternative, slightly less wacky idea: Just past that zone is the teleporter to Don't Get Poisoned, the second deepest level in the game. (Locked in with an invincible monster, you're not likely to hang about in Earthquake Zone without taking the teleporter.) You won't find any more ladders, so you have no idea whether you'll go further down or back up. You might also be running out of time. It seems reasonable to arm the bomb on Poisoned, hoping it's close enough; even a Pyrrhic victory is better than nothing.
There are at least 12 door trigger types that didn't make it into the game, assuming they were made in two consecutive sets starting at 0 and 128. The first one that's actually used is the seventh available number. Conspiracy, or cabal? You decide.
