In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items you discover during your travels can prove to be vital.

The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon easily in *Atomfall*. Unlike the Metal Detector, which might be found on a corpse or purchased from a trader, the Signal Redirector is hidden in a specific location and connected to a key character, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

Your journey begins by picking up a lead in Wyndham Village, directing you to Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. She's imprisoned deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. Reaching this area is challenging, as it's heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village first. By assisting him with tasks like retrieving stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, which might simplify your mission.

Once ready, head to the Protocol prison camp 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 through the prison's multiple levels, you'll need to dodge or take down guards and robots. Keep an eye out for B.A.R.D robots, as disabling them can yield **Atomic Batteries** necessary for The Interchange.

Descend to the prison's lowest level, past the dig site. Here, you'll find Dr. Garrow confined in a standalone cell in the main room. To liberate her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Once you've retrieved it, you'll also earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector serves as a hacking device, crafted by Dr. Garrow herself. It enables you to reroute power within yellow junction boxes to different sources, which can be crucial for disabling security systems or unlocking storage rooms.

Much like the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when you're near a hackable junction box. Follow the device's needle to locate it, and when you're close enough, the junction box will be highlighted.

To hack the junction box, simply select the 'Hack' option, which will reroute its power. If needed, you can reverse this action by hacking the box again.
