About Captain Kaboom

"Captain Kaboom reporting for duty! Repairs, burnt fuse boxes, broken stoves, bad guys, you name it!" The Kaboom Team are akin to a hive of industrious bees, buzzing tirelessly around Silvernia's Spinotrodes. They never turn down fresh milk and a coin or two for their purses, but most of all they treasure the companionship of their beloved Kaboom Team fellows. Children without a home, they often gather together, singing their motto as one: 'Mind for shocks, check the cables; keep things clean; activate once stable!' Revealed as a Technician of the United Mining Industry and confirmed as a Radiatio Break Suppressor with a Saviour identity. Her Wrench kit builds Pressure and Maximum Current to fuel her Charged Attacks and balloon skills.

In the Dichotomy Beta build, Captain Kaboom appears only briefly, bounding in with her signature line, 'Captain Kaboom reporting for duty! Repairs, burnt fuse boxes, broken stoves, bad guys, you name it!' before heading off to fieldwork.

Only really small and light kids can climb up the Spinotrodes, so UMI hires us. Once my coffers are full, I'm gonna climb to the very top of Silver Palace itself!

Power within wires, cells then cables... Rats, no! Just practicing the Kaboom Team's catchphrase!
