I can't figure out how to get past the second fan in level 3 of D3 Mercenary. I got past the first fan by shoving a big floating ball into it. And now I see this fan at the end of a green-lit corridor, with forcefields on either side of the corridor, and the fan keeps me from advancing, by blowing me back when I approach. I can't find any switches anywhere. And I've spent lots of time shooting plasmas against the forcefields, hoping they'd bounce off to the right place and hit something useful. No luck. I also tried the switches in the hallway that temporarily create gravity upwards and downwards in the storage rooms. Other than watching powerups get sucked up and down, I don't see any usefulness in those switches. I also haven't figured out the point of using those controls in the rooms that overlook the large hangars through windows. btw, that's a pretty cool level. I actually tried to go outside once, after a decompression, but unfortunately died instantly. Now if I could find an invulnerability powerup near the hangar, I'd be able to explore the outside world briefly! truthseeker (Don't forget to change header to seekertruth0 at mindspring.com if replying by email.)
