Flip argument: If the Warden cannot communicate with the entity, will there be enough common ground to form any such bargain? Im cahnnelingthe old Ender's Game/Speaker for the Dead Hierarchy of Foreignness , fwiw.

If the WARDEN cannot communicate, they can't make a bargain.

ya, we covered that. The questions are a) whether Bargaining with them is anything less than a terrible Idea, and b)Whether it might be a reasonable Protective security measure to require that any beings that want to Communicate with the Warden to be capable of it themselves (as opposed to having all these advanced translations subroutines to facilitate it).

That's like saying Hades shouldn't be allowed to speak with the spirits he holds because of security concerns... He's freaking Hades. Well whomever made that Island was very powerful, and very smart. That was the original Warden, and it appears that any Warden is held to the same regard, so it's not a surprise that communication is possible.

If an ancient deity atoned and realized the errors of its ways, saw the Light of Redemption and Atonement, binding them would be unjust.
Of course, I doubt many, if any, of these beings (save the British Prisoner) has the humility to admit, "I was wrong. Please forgive me." You would likely find Lucifer bowing his head and asking Dad to come home.

Maybe, but I don't think Demonreach is exactly about Justice or Mercy. It may be more oriented toward Necessity.
