Alone in Peril is a segment under the Honkai: Star Rail Trailblaze Continuance Mission, Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue (II). As a hostage under Hoolay's command, you'll play Jiaoqiu's POV and must make a big decision on whether to search for help or not. I'll run you through the outcome of both choices.
All dialogue outcomes in Alone in Peril – Honkai Star Rail
During this quest segment, there is an optional task to "search for help and send news to the outside." It can be done by speaking to three NPCs marked by the quest navigator. While speaking to the NPCs, some dialogue options will be marked in red. Choosing the red dialogue options will prompt Jiaoqiu to ask for help. But should you?
Realm-Keeping Orderly

Upon speaking to the Realm-Keeping Orderly, you can choose to ask for help (red dialogue option) or dismiss the conversation. This is the only choice in the conversation that matters.
If you choose to ask for help, you can either state that Borisin are hiding nearby or introduce yourself as Jiaoqiu and relay the same news. Both choices will lead to the Realm-Keeping Orderly finding a soldier. Meanwhile, if you choose to dismiss the conversation, then it will end without mention of the Borisin.
Cloud Knights Soldier

The Cloud Knights Soldier is stationed by the Synwood Pavillion Space Anchor. If you choose to ask for help (red dialogue), you can either state that Borisin are hiding nearby or introduce yourself as Jiaoqiu. The soldier will recognize you as the Yaoqing messenger in both instances and call for reinforcements.
However, if you choose to dismiss the conversation, the soldier will tell you to come for help if needed, and the dialogue sequence will end without mentioning the Borisin.
Starskiff Pilot

The conversation with the Starskiff Pilot will start with you asking about the Starskiff's accommodations. You can choose any option without affecting the story. After, you can choose the option "Can we keep this quiet?" (red dialogue), which will trigger a sequence about asking for help. You will have two dialogue options afterward.
- "Can you give me a ride out of here?"
- The pilot will inform you that the starting fare costs six strales and that you have no money. You'll then be asked to withdraw money first.
- "Could you deliver a message to the Realm-Keeping Commission for me?"
- The pilot will brashly inform you that the Realm-Keeping Commission is just up ahead and that you should go there yourself.
Both dialogue options will result in getting absolutely no help from the Starskiff Pilot.
Suspicious Ferryman

Unlike the previous NPCs, the conversation with the Suspicious Ferryman is required to push the story forward. Your choices in this dialogue sequence will have no bearing on the story and will always result in the same outcome, so you can freely choose any option. There are also no red dialogue choices throughout.
What happens if you choose to ask for help in Alone in Peril? – Honkai Star Rail
If you choose to ask any of the NPCs for help in Alone in Peril, returning to Hoolay to push the quest objective will trigger an additional story segment with Mok Tok. The Cloud Knights Soldier will appear in the location, having been fooled into thinking that Mok Tok is a captain who can help you.
Hoolay will remind you that you were never given permission to talk with others and imply that the people you spoke to had died because of you. After, a crack of bones will echo in the courtyard, signifying that the people you spoke with have been eliminated. You can completely avoid the tragic death of the NPCs by not asking for help. Either way, the story will push forward without any implications against Hoolay or benefit to the generals, as the Cloud Knights Soldier had gotten the wrong reinforcements.
