Aliyah wrote the first version of the Threian communication during a stability window at the third Keystone.
She wrote it standing at the instrument room's secondary desk, because the instrument room was where she had to be and the communication needed to be written in the time available rather than in the time that would have been ideal. Darak sat across the room with his notation materials and the Order's compact documentation open to the section on third-party notifications in prior breach events.
The first version was fourteen lines. It was accurate. It named all four parties of the Compact. It would achieve perhaps forty percent of what it needed to achieve, because it described the coalition's existence without conveying the weight of the situation the coalition had been formed to address.
She gave it to Darak.
He read it twice without marking it. He put it down and said: "The weight of the situation is not in this version."
