盟國

盟 = 明 + 皿 : Mahatma Gandhi (m) is searching his shallow bowl (皿) in the darkness of the engine's kitchen ((e)ng2) using a search light (明). He swears (盟) that if he ever looses it again he'll go absolutely mad.

国 = 囗 + 玉 : Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.

In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.
