The Signal Redirector is not something you'll stumble upon easily in *Atomfall*. Unlike the Metal Detector, which you might find on a trader or a corpse, the Signal Redirector is tied to a specific location and character: Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist. To begin your quest, head to Wyndham Village where you'll pick up a lead on her whereabouts. Your next step is to embark on a rescue mission to the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, where Dr. Garrow is being held captive.

Reaching Skethermoor 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 such as retrieving stolen items, you can gain some favor with Protocol, making your journey slightly less perilous.

Once prepared, make your way to the Protocol prison camp on the southern border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door. Navigating the prison's multiple levels requires stealth and strategy, as you'll need to evade or eliminate guards and robots. Don't forget to disable B.A.R.D robots to collect their **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.

Reach the lowest level of the prison, past the dig site area, where you'll find Dr. Garrow confined in a standalone cell within the main room. To liberate her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is located in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Upon acquiring it, you'll unlock the **'Reverse the Polarity' trophy/achievement**.

Developed by Dr. Garrow, the Signal Redirector serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This functionality is crucial for disabling security systems and accessing locked storage rooms. When the Signal Redirector is in your inventory, it will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when a hackable junction box is nearby. Follow the device's needle to locate the box, which will be highlighted once you're close enough.

To hack the junction box, select the 'Hack' button to reroute its power. If you need to reverse the hack, simply select the 'Hack' button again on the same junction box.
