Page 1084, Against the Day:

"Inconvenience herself is constantly having her engineering updated. As a result of advances in relativity theory, light is incorporated as a source of motive power - though not exactly fuel - and as a carrying medium - though not exactly a vehicle - occupying, rather, a relation to the skyship much like that of the ocean to a surfer on a surfboard - a design principle borrowed from the AEther units that carry the girls to and fro on missions whose details they do not always share fully with 'High Command.'"
