> I can't figure out how to get past the second fan in level 3 of D3 Mercenary.

Taken from my walkthoguh which will be mailed at request:

Disable the harzardous storage forcefield by shooting it in a certain 
angle to hit the trigger in the room behind. Slide down into the room 
below and get the energy to shield converter. This tool is invaluable 
throughout the level cause there are plenty of small drones flying 
around. Destroy them to get quite some energy powerups which you can 
then convert to shields. Below the converter to the left is the first 
Cooling Junction, the way to the right leads back on an alternative 
route to the hangars whereas this time you land in the control booths. 
Try the levers to see how you can torture those bots in the hangars, 
KABOOM!

After that go on and destroy the ventilation shaft fan by nudging the 
large ball into it. Before, use the "+"-trigger outside to strengthen 
the suction to get rid of those Stormtroopers. Fly up into the shaft 
till you come to a windy tunnel. Again shoot the forcefields in the 
right angle to disable the primary cooling fan. Now you're on you're 
way up through several Sharc protected rooms. They do not attack you 
as long as they're not activated by the security drone patrolling the 
rooms. Hide under the mirror and wait till the drone passed by and 
blow it up from behind. If it spotted you hurry up to blow it before 
it can hit the alarm trigger, otherwise the Sharcs will shred you to 
bits.

You can actually MAKE your invulnerabilities in this level playing 
with some smaller balls in a shaft close to the main hangars. However, 
you still would get destroyed outside.
