Fallout -bugged main storyline quest??..... :/

[ObiJonShinobi]

So inside the mariposa military base on the 4th floor with the Van hagan and ect. and going to the Vats control room where the COC techies in robes are at...the force field emitter there leading to that room wont open up for me. i used my repair/science and the field switch item but the force field isnt going down to allow me to pass through to activate the bomb. so now i cant even finish the lame quest. On the other force field emiters i can bypass them with the switch or using my repair but this one i cant get it to open up, anyone know how ? I even killed everyone at the mariposa base hoping it would activate something within the game......so anyone have an idea on what to do here?

Okay, my english suck, but i'll try to help. I got a headacke when i figured out this sh*t by myself.


>> i used my repair/science and the field switch item

On the 4th floor only using "repair" skill on the force field emitter (cylindrical shaped part of the wall, next to the field itself) can help. "Field switch item" didn't do sh*t. For every other floor you can use a radio.

Radio can shut down the fields on the 1, 2 (not sure) and 3th floor. For that you need to use a radio on a computer (i'm not sure if ANY computer will do. I did it with the specific one on the 1'st floor (one of the group of computers to the right after you enter the base)).
After that you can toggle fields by using the radio on the floor that you at.

Notes:
- When you use the radio, sometimes you need to wait a few seconds before it works (i guess it's a glitch).
- I do remember that the green field on the 3th floor didn't react on the "repair" skill at all. Any other fields react properly. But it shuts down with the radio allright.

I just checked it out myself. The green field on 4th floor can be disabled with "repair" skill. Try to do it twice and make sure you didn't blew it up with explosive before (i guessin' in this case field switching is f*cked up permamently).
