The Signal Redirector is not an item you'll stumble upon easily. Unlike the Metal Detector, it's not something you can purchase from a trader or loot from a random corpse. Instead, it's tied to a specific character and location in the game: Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

To begin your quest, pick up the lead from Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. Your mission is to rescue her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. Reaching this area is challenging due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers. A strategic approach is to meet Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village and assist him with tasks like recovering stolen items, which can help you gain favor with Protocol temporarily.

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.

The prison is structured in multiple levels. You'll need to navigate through each level, evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Keep an eye out for B.A.R.D robots, as disabling them can yield **Atomic Batteries** needed for The Interchange.

Descend to the lowest level, past the dig site area, where you'll find Dr. Garrow confined in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you must retrieve the Signal Redirector from the nearby Storage room, where it sits on a shelf. Upon acquiring the Signal Redirector, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, developed by Dr. Garrow, is a versatile hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This functionality is crucial for disabling security systems, accessing locked storage, and more.

When the Signal Redirector is in your inventory, it will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when you're near a hackable junction box. The device's needle will guide you toward the box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough. Simply select the 'Hack' button to reroute the power, and you can reverse this action by hacking the junction box again if necessary.
