The quick way is to take quaternions with integer coefficients, say
$$ q = w + x i + y j + z k, $$
with $$ i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = -1, $$
then $$ ij = k, jk = i, k i = j $$
in cyclic order, then
$$ ji = -k, kj = -i, ik = -j. $$
Let's see, multiplication is associative. define
$$ \bar q = w - xi - yj - zk. $$
Oh, the norm of $q$ is $$ q \bar q = w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 $$
Now, take, as a "vector"
$$ u = 2 i + j + k $$
of norm $6.$ There should be 24 possible vectors of norm $6.$
Finally, let
$$ d = q \bar q \; . \; $$
The cute part is that
$$ v = \bar q u q = ai + bj + c k $$
is another vector, no real part, and
$$ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 6 d^2 $$
This way, we can deal with $d \equiv 7 \pmod 8,$ which cannot be written as the sum of three integer squares.
See what you can do with it. Note that, when $$ \gcd(a,b,c,d) = 1, $$ first $d$ is odd, then $a,b,c$ cannot be divisible by $3.$
$$\color{magenta}{ a = ( w+x+z)^2 + ( -w + x + y)^2 - 3 y^2 - 3 z^2 } $$
$$\color{magenta}{ b = ( w + x - 2 z)^2 - 2 ( x-y-z)^2 + 3 ( y+z)^2 - 6 z^2 } $$
$$\color{magenta}{ c = ( w - x + 2 y)^2 - 2 ( x-y-z)^2 - 3 ( y-z)^2 + 6 z^2 } $$
$$\color{magenta}{ d = w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 } $$
More later....1:45 pm my time.
Programmed it; very repetitive, as usual. The first thing I did was do a raw search, $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 6 d^2,$ with $\gcd(a,b,c) = 1,$ finally $a \geq b \geq c \geq 0.$ In that list, there are just three ways to get $d=7,$ just six ways to get $d=15.$
a = 2*x*x + (2*y + 2*z)*x + (2*w*w + (-2*y + 2*z)*w + (-2*y*y - 2*z*z)) ;
b = -x*x + (2*w + 4*y)*x + (w*w - 4*z*w + (y*y + 2*z*y - z*z)) ;
c = -x*x + (-2*w + 4*z)*x + (w*w + 4*y*w + (-y*y + 2*z*y + z*z)) ;
d = x*x + (w*w + (y*y + z*z)) ;
