Dear repliers, Thank you so much for answering. Well, in the end I installed two mods - "Fast Travel Enabled" (by Mustang_ER), and SmithyPete's Fast Travel From Interiors(thank you both) - which got me out of the pickle. Playing it safe though, I killed Captain Zao, as the mod authors warned against fast traveling from interiors while there are "non-repetitive" quests active in the particular cell. In passing, I can also mention that I reentered the sub later on, and the problem persisted. On the matter of missing "cell exits", I've had experiences with the "Bermuda Triangle" in an early Vanilla game, but with my present modded version, I've come across a couple of new ones. I haven't tried to disable/enable mods in a systematic way, as to try to find a culprit though - perhaps because I subconsciously don't want to point a finger at Frost, seeing as it has made any other way of playing the game uninteresting to me.
