Yu the Great (yu) is modelling a moon (月) in the elevator's bathroom (e4). He uses a stapler (⺆) to staple a lot of capacitors (二) together to form a moon shape, while the real moon is sitting for him.

:
Mnemonic symbol: a capacitor, because the two strokes remind me of the symbol in electrical drawings. Albert Einstein (Ø) is experimenting with a capacitor (二) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He finds that it's uncomfortable to discharge a capacitor using two flutes (一).

Mnemonic symbol: ⺆ looks like a staple, as used in a stapler.
Zeus (ju) wants to plant bananas (丿) in front of the engine ((e)ng1). He uses a plow (㇆) to dig up the earth and puts the bananas inside. To prevent the bananas from falling down, he staples them down with a stapler (⺆).

Sir Lancelot (l) tries to pass the frickin' cold 12th lunar month (腊) as fast as possible by luring the moon (月) with pieces of preserved meat (腊) in order to make him pass by as fast as possible. Unfortunately the moon just drinks his milk shake (昔) sitting on the toilet in the ashram's bathroom (a4) and doesn't pay the least attention to Sir Lancelot.
ancient practice of offering sacrifices to the gods in the 12th lunar month / the 12th lunar month / (bound form) (of meat, fish etc) cured in winter, esp. in the 12th lunar month

Marie Curie (xi) finds that the moon (月) crashed on the earth in front of the engine ((e)ng1). She investigates the case and concludes that the moon was hit and killed by a satellite (星) which is still stuck into its head. The moon is reeking with blood (腥) where the satellite hit it. Because it has been dead for a while it stinks quite fishy (腥).

:
Marie Curie (xi) started a new business (办) in the elevator's kitchen (e2) offering gymnastic practice which helps to relieve tension in one's flank (胁). At first she offers the moon (月) to participate, but as the moon declines she threatens (胁) him with an impressive gymnastic move.

The aloe vera on the moon resembles the rose on the little prince's planet. Thus I'll represent this character by the little prince.
In the aorta's bathroom, the little prince misses his asteroid and his rose so much. To comfort him, Marie Curie gives him a moon and an aloe vera to remind him of home.
