Tempting Fate, Sid-lass. Oh, so hard.
Think of the mooks!
Varia looks properly confused there. On the bright side, it didn't ruin her pants like I've seen in some other works.

A vampire tries to sneak in, and Sydney has questions
as does Maxima.

And I just now realized, upon reviewing strips, that indeed Sydney was tempting fate by invoking vampire movie sunrises.
The mostly-incredibly-happily asleep bats had me giggling: there's a vamp who hasn't been getting enough shut-eye recently. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
And, may have trouble nodding off for a few days thanks to the tanker of What-If?
Nightmare Fuel Sid just dumped on her. 
Crimson explains herself and Sydney loses a bet.
It explains the confusion a bit.
Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
And Sydney's new power is useful

Ermm... Do you?
Neat little reference to What We Do in the Shadows on the shirt.

Thats a pointed conversation.

My immediate impulse is that it was an attempt to either locate the remaining sigils, or to sneak someone in during the "rescue", but I'm sure it might be even more complex than that.

Or it could simply be moving Something Important from a secret hiding-place to this vault, which the enemy knew of and could get to.

Also, I can answer Sydney's question - it's old-school two-factor security. You need someone capable of reaching the door and someone capable of opening the door to get in.

They didn't turn off the alarms... just the ability to hear them.

No longer a forum herald
The kind of mistake that globe-spanning conspiracies are made from.
In their defense, it's sort of like turning off the wi-fi in a building because it's interfering with the HVAC systems, and not realizing that somewhere along the way, the IT department decided the best way to control the air-conditioning was by sending commands to a hotspot on the network. I mean, you don't expect people to have piggybacked essential functions on what's essentially a convenience.
Of course, with any knowledge of human (mortal?) nature, you should have expected it.
Think of the mooks!
You know, if you make it so that people more or less can't hear them, then you have basically disabled the alarms.

Unless the Alarms also try to kick your ass.
Magic and so.

Plus it's possible that there were guards down here who could hear the alarms, but they couldn't call for help and just got killed.
