The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you can't simply buy or find lying around like the Metal Detector. It's tied to one of the game's key characters, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

Your quest begins after picking up a lead in Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. You'll need to embark on a rescue mission to save her from the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. Reaching this location is challenging due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, it's wise to first meet Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By helping him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, at least temporarily.

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

The prison is multi-leveled, and you'll need to navigate through each level, avoiding or eliminating guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to obtain their **Atomic Batteries**, which are essential for The Interchange.

Continue to the prison's lowest level, past the dig site area, where you'll find Dr. Garrow locked in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is located in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Once you've secured it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is vital for disabling security systems and 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. Follow the direction indicated by the device's needle, and when you're close enough, the junction box will be highlighted. Use the 'Hack' button to reroute the power, and if needed, you can reverse the process by hacking the junction box again.
