The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon easily; it's not sold by traders or found on random corpses like the Metal Detector. Instead, it's hidden in a specific location linked to Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist. To start your quest, you'll need to gather intel from Wyndham Village about her whereabouts. Once you have the lead, you're off to rescue her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor.
Reaching Skethermoor is a challenge in itself, as it's heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen goods, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your journey smoother, at least temporarily.

Once ready, head to the Protocol prison camp located on the southernmost edge of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southern road, marked by a large green door. Navigate through the prison's multiple levels, evading or confronting guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to collect their **Atomic Batteries**, which are essential for The Interchange.
Descend to the prison's lowest level, past the dig site area, where 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. Upon retrieving it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is vital for disabling security systems and unlocking storage rooms. When equipped, 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, which will be highlighted once you're close enough.
To hack, simply select the 'Hack' button to reroute the power. If you need to reverse the hack, just 'hack' the junction box again. This tool is essential for freeing Dr. Garrow and advancing her storyline.
