"Players in a Siren's ZATR may only move to Grid squares in that Siren's 
ZATR or Grid squares in that Siren's ZOE"

This gets into whether it means the action of "move", which rules define to 
be "a step between two consecutive squares", or the event of "being moved", 
which is pretty much any change in location.

"If there is no such location or the location contains an impassible object 
(but not if there is a location and it just isn't legal), a random one of 
the adjacent locations is chosen"

There is a location, and it may or may not be legal.
