"In that case, it sounds like you're asking more about pre-existing lifeless planets 'waiting' to either naturally develop life or be terraformed rather than artificial planets. It's an intriguing question if only from the standpoint of answering 'Can you Speak to a planet?'"
Azmuth paced slowly along before pausing to admire one of the flowers that was getting ready to blossom. Had he wanted to, he could've used the Speech to coax it to bloom. Or have had Nita do so given she likely would've been more persuasive than he. (Actually, Nita may have noticed that despite him being a 'mana manipulator', Azmuth didn't do anything of the sort nor did he use the Speech.)
"This world is different: Like all of my artificial planets, I built the computer core first. My older ones such as Primus I then built up over the years, condensing billions of years of natural evolution into a scant few centuries. While Galvan Prime and this particular world were built in a fraction of that accelerated timeline, they were also built up layer-by-layer. We don't know if anyone outside the Milky Way has managed to create a similar process, so sadly we have only my planets for comparison to natural worlds."
He then tilted his head to one side, still studying the flower.
"Still, that does leave me to wonder if those worlds I built were aware of their purpose while I was sculpting them. Did they develop their own Speech patterns as time went on? Did Primus realize at some point that it would be more than a rock-covered computer drifting through space or -- later on -- my private garden? Those are also intriguing questions."
