This was scary even as a joke

Go?

Going.

Tomaster (Vladimír Shurla) [7]:
Aark is about to do the favor of standing your mecha back up.
"Dumbtard, it can't stand. It'll just fall back down. Let me have your secondary tube."
Oh, okay.
The Van Han kneels down, letting you get to the leg access plate. You quickly extract the Van Han's tube, and close the panel back up. You then head back to the Goliath, link the tube up properly, and shut the panel again. Finally, you head back to your mecha's cockpit, sit down, close the door, and boot your 100 ton death machine back up.
You both hear and feel the clunk of Aark grabbing onto the Goliath, and lifting it up.
"AIGHT, LET'S MESS SOME ♥♥♥♥ UP!"
As your mecha rises, a small beep goes off in the cockpit. It seems that your scanners have found something important in the rubble below! Goody! You mark it for later retrieval.

Roast Veg (Aark-han) [7]:
Delicately, you lean over to grab the Goliath with Le Big Tweezers.
Dumbtard, it can't stand. It'll just fall back down. Let me have your secondary tube.
"Oh, okay."
You stop trying to grab it, and crouch low to the ground so Vlad can grab your parts. An alarm briefly goes off in your cabin, saying that your hydraulics are being removed, but you silence it. Vlad fiddles with his mech a bit more, then climbs in his cockpit. You then reach down and pick him up, figuring that he's ready by now.

Game Events: Thomas comes back onto the radio, replacing the yelling lady.
Alright, I didn't expect that. At all. But you're all mostly fine, so whatever. For now, just ignore the other objectives unless you've got time or are at them. Instead, you are to head south and collect that guy who sent the radio signal from before.
What about our mission though? Don't we need supplies?
It's been scrubbed. Besides, you identified a few good places to scavenge. We'll be fine for a while longer.

Everyone is at the Hospital.
The objective is to the south-southwest.

Does that mean I need to retrieve it, or they'll retrieve it for me?

They will retrieve it.

Bitchin'
Bitchin'. You freaky smoke monsters better watch THE ♥♥♥♥ OUT!
Stay on guard, and move towards the signal location.
