|text=A valve opens in one of the pipes near you, and you brace for a cloud of scalding steam to come out. Instead, a little voice says, "steam elemental is updating. Checking updates, 1/256." You tap your foot and wait for it to finish, but when it asks you to log in and choose a password to fight the steam elemental, you refuse. After a few "are you sure?" messages, the steam elemental finally puffs out and squares off against you.
