Float/fly over and placate them a bit
"People, please calm down, If there are going to be any whichunts it shall be for the stupid fucking retard that didn't follow their orders and set up the bridge. Excuse me while I set the portal within reach for you."

Re-place portal such that it doesn't block line of sight and allows people through, order sods to move/climb up in front of the portal and look for trouble makers.
I feel like Auron is probably just gonna punch you in the head when you try to take the remote from him. So instead I'm gonna have him put the bridge down. Or at least be really fucking snarky at him if he doesn't this turn.

Hmm. Definitely volcanic. Quite old too.

((Why are blizzard and firestorm separated if we are operating in the same area?))
Going at a decent clip say ~150kph do a high altitude circle of the path ahead to see if any groups are obviously armed or filled with ebola, send a warning to Auron to raise the bridge and get the sods in a firing position if there are such groups. Also have someone get on the duty of the "Salvation for Guns" program.

Keep an eye out for anything that looks like it might be about to use Firestorm 5 as skeet. If I see one, shout a warning and prepare to open fire.

Using my computer/wristpad, do a SPACE GOOGLE search for the nearest pizza places on this planet.
If I see any troublemakers in the crowd getting violent, fire a warning shot... into the crowd.

Technically all the teams except the super vets are in the same area. It's mostly so I don't go insane.

You do a quick circle above the advancing throngs of humanity. The majority of the running masses seem to have made their way out of the slums now, leaving it to those that have decided to take out their anger on the cobbled together infrastructure. But they aren't alone; you can see people moving through the crowds, robbing the refugees. They're definitely armed, though most are armed with nothing more than knifes and similar weapons while a few have guns. These guys are still pretty far from the portal though, and they seem to be avoiding the start of the cliffside path because of how narrow it is. But they're riling the line, and people are starting to push and struggle.  This is how riots and panic start.

You let everyone know what you saw.

People are definitely looking up at him, but no one is pointing anything more than a finger for the moment.

Do robbers threatening people with a knife count as violent?

Space google has no maps for this place.

Sure, I guess so.

Send an angry SPACE EMAIL to SPACE GOOGLE to complain about their lack of coverage. Or post it on SPACEBOOK.
Then climb along the rock wall and head towards whatever settlements these plebs are coming from. I hope they are suitably intimidated by a robot, but try to avoid the crowd as much as possible anyway. Have my cutlass out along with my dear rifle, just in case.

If I make it to the city/town/whatever, begin searching for some kind of restaurant. Preferably a pizza restaurant.

swoop down close and photograph the thieves, tagging them in the photograph with a red mark or something (using mad hatter I guess?) and forward them to Blizzard. Then address the crowd, after address 

"Those of you I see thieving, throw away your weapons and give back what you stole. I have informed my counterpart at the checkpoint ahead of your activities and armed nature. You WILL be searched and if you are found with weapons, you WILL be punished by someone with a short temper, and a group of highly compliant sods. If you give up your weapons though, then NO HARM shall come to you."

This is a nightmare. Everyone is failing horribly at basic empathy and PR.
and I can't do anything about it because if they see me I'll scare them.
I stay in my invisible position and look for signs of active threats, hoping that my teammates can manage the crowd.

The settlement they're from is the slums, as previously mentioned.

And the crowd is, by now, streaming right back towards it, despite the fact that it is on fire.

You take pictures of the thieves and forward them to blizzard. Maybe they'll work on getting rid of these guys after the next WOW expansion is done.

Haber works against space magic and the only space magic going on here is that portal giving you a constant feeling of someone gently poking you in the back of the head.

Collar a nearby peasant and ask, firmly but politely, for directions to the nearest supplier of oven-baked cheesy flatbread goodness.

If they don't immediately pony up a helpful answer, robopunch them in the genitals and ask again. Less politely.

If they are a helpful soul and give me directions right away, display a friendly robomoticon, give them a pat on the back and a business card and tell them none other than Jobasio von Hootzal owes them a favour if they wind up making it to a new, non-imploding universe.
Oh,  and tell them about the portal, I guess.

Herd the people back up the path, possibly by setting the lower path on fire with PAWN (not right in front of them obviously), if they refuse to be herded without the use of fire.

You grab the corpse that Auron just got finished murdering.

"TAKE ME TO YOUR PIZZA! I MEAN YOU NO HARM UNLESS YOU DON'T TAKE ME TO YOUR PIZZA, THEN I MEAN YOU LOTS OF FUCKING HARM"

The corpse begins to enter rigor in response.

You punch it repeatedly in the genitals.

It voids its bowels in response.

Oh I don't think you can do that. The only one doing violence to a civilian is auron and he's murdering them with molten gold a mile away from here on the back of a dragon.  Which is frankly a bit anti-er.

Now the guy threatening and genitally mutilating a corpse? He's a goddamn hero.

Auron...well auron appears to be taking that idea of yours to the nth degree. To the point that your actions would be akin to flicking the nose of a disemboweled man. Oh sure, it might register, but there are bigger problems to worry about.
