since the council didn't know about valorum's mission for sifo-dyas to deal with the pykes it looks like chancellor contacted him personally. there must be some level of familiarity and trust between them, not bail and obi-wan level but maybe one of these "that jedi saved my life through hell so now I know I can trust him" and "that's a politician I can deal with" jedi and senator situations
and then valorum never asks what happened to sifo-dyas and then there is the naboo crisis so THIS TIME he asks the council to send qui-gon who ALSO dies on that mission
in a universe where sifo-dyas doesn't die on his mission he comes back only for valorum to be like 🥺👉👈 there is that invasion on naboo
