The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon easily in *Atomfall*. Unlike the Metal Detector, you won't find it sold by traders or looted from corpses. Instead, it's tied to a pivotal character in the game, 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. You'll need to embark on a rescue mission to the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, where she's held captive. Reaching this location is challenging due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers. A smart strategy to ease your infiltration involves meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your mission smoother.

Once 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 southmost road, marked by a large green door.

Navigating the prison involves progressing through multiple levels, evading or eliminating guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to obtain **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange. Your destination is the bottom level, beyond the dig site area, where Dr. Garrow is confined in a standalone cell. To free her, you'll need to locate the Signal Redirector in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Upon retrieving it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, developed by Dr. Garrow, functions as a hacking tool, allowing you to reroute power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is crucial for disabling security systems and accessing locked areas.

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 needle's direction on the device to locate the junction box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough. Use the 'Hack' button to reroute the power, and if necessary, you can reverse the process by hacking the junction box again.
