The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find through typical means like purchasing from traders or looting from corpses, unlike items such as the Metal Detector. This device is exclusively located in one specific spot linked to a key character, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

To start your journey, you'll first need to gather information from Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. This leads you to a challenging mission to rescue her from the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, where she is held captive.

Reaching the prison camp is no small feat due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers. A strategic approach to ease your infiltration is to first connect with Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks like retrieving stolen goods, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your journey smoother.

Once prepared, navigate to the Protocol prison camp on the southern edge of Skethermoor. The underground prison entrance is located at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door.

The prison is structured over multiple levels, each requiring you to navigate past guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to obtain their **Atomic Batteries**, which are essential for The Interchange.

Proceed to the lowest level of the prison, past the dig site area. Here, you'll find Dr. Garrow locked in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need to retrieve the Signal Redirector from a nearby Storage room shelf. Upon obtaining it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, developed by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool. It allows you to reroute power within yellow junction boxes to different sources, aiding in disabling security systems or unlocking storage rooms.

Similar to the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector will ping you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when a hackable junction box is in proximity. Follow the device's needle to locate the box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough.

Use the 'Hack' button to reroute the junction box's power. If necessary, you can reverse the hack by repeating the process on the same junction box.
