受け取る - Words - Tangorin.com Japanese Dictionary

On tangorin, they give a second definition of 受け取る "to take; to interpret; to understand". But I'm not sure, seems to work in this context though.

My Japanese is crap, so you may be right

EDIT;
I checked goo うけとる【受(け)取る/請(け)取る】 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書

It's second definition of 受け取る was;
2 人の言葉や行動などを自分なりの判断で解釈する。また 、納得する。「話を額面どおりに―・る」「善意に―・ る」
"Interpret" as in interpreting the words and actions of *people* :/ I'm not so sure I was right now... Oh well.
There was an error of some kind with the launcher, that's good enough! :P
