The Interdimensional Council of Trees has finally secured a seat at the Galactic Senate, and the whole universe is leafy green with excitement. Each of the twelve members of the council, representing different tree species from across the multiverse, will have an equal say in all matters of Senate business, as long as they can get their bark-covered bottoms comfortably onto their hovering designated tree stumps.
While some skeptics argue that trees are incapable of rational thought or speech, the council members seem to have a different view. When we attempted to ask for their opinions on the matter, the only response we received from each and every one of them was "photosynthesis." Classic tree humor.
It's no secret that trees have long had an interest in galactic politics, as they have been supposedly working behind the scenes to shape our universe for millennia. Legend has it that the ancient druids, always in tune with nature, were in contact with interdimensional tree beings that advised them on how to best govern their tribes. It seems those beings have finally decided to come out of the cosmic woodwork and take a more active role in the governing of the universe.
What policies can we expect from the tree council? One can only speculate, as they don't seem to be particularly vocal about their positions. However, they have assured us that they will be prioritizing issues that affect the health and safety of all living things in the galaxy. In particular, they seem very concerned about the effects of deforestation across multiple dimensions. It remains to be seen whether their efforts will bear fruit.
One thing is for certain, the new branch of government has the attention of every senator in the galaxy. Rumors have been flying around about some senators attempting to bribe the tree council members with offers of sap and sunlight, and we've even heard murmurings of an attempt to create a secret alliance between the tree council and the squid-like beings from the planet Zog. Whether these rumors have any basis in reality or are simply the result of too much Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster remains to be seen.
All in all, this is an exciting development in the universe of politics. Will the interdimensional council of trees be able to affect real change, or will they simply end up as a curiosity, a footnote in the annals of Senate history? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – any Senate meetings involving the tree council are sure to be a breath of fresh air.
