Bob the eye-o-naut has landed on the planet of Eye in his eyeship. Bob's face has nothing on it but eyes so he is excited to be on this planet.
"Hmph."
However the ship was not so excited to have landed, and it narrowed its eye in distaste for its new environment.
SPLOOF! GWEEP!
Instead, it decided that it would much rather be a tree. It really had hated being an eye ship. Yes, a tree was much better. Maybe also with an extra face.
Suddenly the trees split and multiplied into an entire eye-tree forest.
"But I'm your captain!"
The eye-tree-ships turned on Bob and started chasing him as a singular hivemind. He had never been so scared in his entire life.
His fear was not unfounded. The hive mind, tree of his tyranny killed him. With his death came their freedom, a cause for celebration, but even so a small part of the hive mind mourned their long time companion.
