Bruce Wayne has kind of had enough of today; while the world of Taxon doesn't look nearly like the (artistically rendered, he suspects) Doctor's looming apocalypse, it's still in a near-cracking state. The destruction of citizens vs sentinel robots, accidentally-detonated bombs, and his own creative use of the tram have left a notable impact. Still, there is more to come - but just how much more depends on all of them.
"There's no radiation in the individual bombs," he says, and he's walking, headed straight towards the Sanctuary building in downtown Osten. "The machines are there to protect civilian life, not the explosives. If you're still here and can't get to a safe zone or on the ship, stay as far away from any sentinel activity as you can."
Speaking of the machines - they're approaching, because he isn't stopping, and neither are the people behind him, whose shoulders or backs can occasionally be seen in his broadcast. Bruce is holding something small and heavy in his hand, somehow both calm and extremely annoyed.
"Unless you'd like to get down here and help break this goddamn facility open, because the Doctor is right here."

"Firing squad, then?" he asks. "Or are we going to get creative with my excecution? Can't possibly imagine a proper trial in this place. All people from different universes, no solid government or legal system. Still! I imagine it'll be interesting to see what you all have planned for me. Better make it interesting, though. Can't handle a simple gunshot wound to the head, that just wouldn't be fair. I know! You could boil me alive. Do be careful with that coat, Janis Joplin gave me that!"
He's fairly terrified of how utterly out of control everything has spiraled, so he's covering it up with a healthy layer of flippancy. Be flippant, be relaxed, it throws everyone else off.
