This is programming for when the NU is out of the zone mind's control, and so long as it's been programmed properly it will still only target what the zone mind wants it to target, it's just that the choice ends up random. Hell, if Overmind is that paranoid, instead of a random number generator it can set the bots to just target whichever target is furthest to the north relative to the bot, with furthest to the east as a tie-breaker.
I should also note that, currently, no random number generator is actually
random, so it's entirely possible Overmind
can predict what his NU's will do when it's determined "randomly."
