The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find through typical means. Unlike the Metal Detector, which might be found on a corpse, the Signal Redirector is not available from traders or randomly dropped. It's located in a specific spot connected to one of the game's key characters, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.
After picking up the lead from Wyndham Village about her whereabouts, you'll need to embark on a mission to rescue her. Dr. Garrow is imprisoned deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. Reaching this area is no small feat, as it's heavily guarded by 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, at least temporarily.

When you're prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp situated on the southern edge 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 involves traversing multiple levels, evading or confronting guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to obtain **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange. Proceed to the lowest level, past the dig site area, where Dr. Garrow is confined in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored in a nearby Storage room on a shelf. Once you retrieve it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, a hacking device crafted by Dr. Garrow, functions by rerouting power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is crucial 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 in proximity. Follow the direction indicated by the needle on the device, and the junction box will be highlighted once you're close enough. Use the 'Hack' button to redirect the power, and if needed, you can reverse the hack by selecting the junction box again.
