The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find through typical means. Unlike the Metal Detector, which can be looted from corpses, the Signal Redirector is located in a specific spot linked to 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. To rescue her, you must venture into the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. This area is heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers, making infiltration difficult. A smart approach is to first meet Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By helping him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, easing your path into the camp.

Once you're ready, head to the Protocol prison camp on the southern edge of Skethermoor. The underground prison entrance is at the end of the southernmost road, behind a large green door.

The prison has multiple levels, and you'll need to navigate through them, evading or eliminating guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled for their **Atomic Batteries**, which are essential for The Interchange.

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

The Signal Redirector is a hacking tool developed by Dr. Garrow. It allows you to reroute power within yellow junction boxes to different sources, which can disable security systems and unlock 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 device's needle to locate the box, and when close enough, it will be highlighted. Use the 'Hack' button to reroute the power. If needed, you can reverse the hack by using the same button again.
