So, whenever you go into the Ironfist's(Or whatever there name was) base being not particularly stealthy, they have a habit of sounding the alarm by using those switches on the wall.
It is either possible to deactive them, which I probably did, or the alarm just doesn't work in later levels, but the NPCs don't seem to know that.
They try again every single turn, unfazed by the complete lack of effect.
