Every square of the Grid which has x and y coordinates that are both
integral multiples of 6 is said to contain an Elbonian Airways. Elbonian
Airways are Passable SOs. If a player is in a square which contains an
Elbonian Airways, e may pay 2+2n points to be Thrown at any other square
which contains an Elbonian Airways, where n is the 5th Gremlin number. When
a player is Thrown at a square, eir becomes (x+a-3,y+b-3), where x and y are
the x and y coordinates of the square being Thrown at, and a and b are both
1d5. If a player, after being Thrown, ends up on a square which is occupied
by an Impassable Object, e loses 5 points [[for being injured in the
landing]] and is Thrown at that square.

Rationale: Moving one square per nweek means we go really slow. This is a
way to cover large distances in a short period of time. However, if you fly
Elbonian, you can't specify exactly where you'll land, and if you hit a Big
Rock or some similar object, you might bounce around repeatedly before
hitting a vacant square.
