The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find easily through conventional means. Unlike items like the Metal Detector, which you might find on traders or corpses, the Signal Redirector is tied to a specific location and character - 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. From there, you'll need to embark on a mission to rescue her. She's being held captive deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, which is no easy feat to infiltrate due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers.

To make your infiltration smoother, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By helping him with tasks such as retrieving stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your approach less hostile.

Once prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp located 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 progressing through multiple levels, all while evading or confronting guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to obtain their **Atomic Batteries**, which are essential for The Interchange.

Your goal is to reach the bottom level of the prison, past the dig site area. Dr. Garrow will be locked 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. Retrieving it will also earn you the **'Reverse the Polarity' trophy/achievement**.

Developed by Dr. Garrow herself, the Signal Redirector is a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is crucial for disabling security systems and unlocking 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 direction indicated by the device's needle, and the junction box will be highlighted when you're close enough.

To hack, simply select the 'Hack' button to reroute the power. If needed, you can reverse the hack by selecting the same option again.
