Below is a walkthrough for the Distress Signal standard quest in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. To obtain this quest, listen to the 5 conversations around Colony Mu then discuss the What Washed Ashore topic at the canteen.
Afterwards, make your way to Twinpalm Isle, which is a small island to the southeast of the colony. Once there, speak with Niranira. When the cutscene concludes, travel to Lavi Sandbar, the large island to the northeast of Twinpalm Isle. If you’ve already been here, fast travel to the Third Pillar Remnant landmark. Upon your arrival, make your way to the objective to trigger a cutscene. Follow after Niranira until a cutscene triggers atop a hill. Head into the sand pit that ate Niranira to find an underground cave. Once inside, speak with Niranira. After the furball disappears again, exit the cave then make your way on top of it to find the Sandbar Ferronis Hulk. Speak with Niranira at the hulk. Afterwards, return to Colony Mu and approach the objective. When the cutscene concludes, so will the quest.
