The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you can't simply purchase from a trader or loot from a fallen enemy. Unlike the Metal Detector, this item is tied to a specific location and character - Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

Your journey begins in Wyndham Village, where you'll pick up a lead on Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. From there, you'll embark on a rescue mission to free her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. Navigating to this location is no small feat, as the area is teeming with Protocol soldiers.

To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your mission smoother, at least temporarily.

When you're ready, head to the Protocol prison camp on the southern border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison lies at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door.

The prison is a multi-level maze, and you'll need to navigate through each level, evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Don't forget, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to obtain **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.

Your goal is the bottom level of the prison, past the dig site area. Here, you'll find Dr. Garrow locked in a standalone cell within the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored on a shelf in the nearby Storage room. Once you've retrieved it, you'll unlock the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector is a hacking tool crafted by Dr. Garrow. It allows you to reroute power inside yellow junction boxes to different sources, which can be vital for disabling security systems or unlocking storage rooms.

Similar to the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when a hackable junction box is nearby. The device's needle will guide you towards it, and once you're close enough, the junction box will be highlighted.

By selecting the ‘Hack’ button, you can reroute the power within the junction box. If needed, you can reverse the process by hacking it again.
