The voiceless part I understand to mean that Bruno is "shocked and 
stunned and not a little bit amazed" [1] at Steven's masterstroke which 
came out of the blue and trumped all previous efforts -- a true "deus ex 
machina", a thunderbolt from Olympus -- or if you want a one-word 
colloquialism, he's gobsmacked.

The -ly'rs part means that in his shocked state he has tried to emulate 
the timbot's characteristic sign-off [2], but failed to get the syntax 
correct.
