"One evening in Berkeley, California, on a summer's night, the Undiscovered Worlds crew were sitting and chatting, looking out on to the Berkeley hills as the light faded from the day. The hummingbirds were flying to the feeder outside the window for their last nightcap before sleep. As we talked on into the night, we hardly noticed the appearance of a smallÑand rather shy elephant, who as it were, tumbled out of the long grass into our presence. Little did we know that our little elephant, whom we barely noticed on his arrival, was in fact, the lone scout or advance guard of a whole herd of elephants, that we would one day meet further down the road."
