謝絕

谢 = 射 + 讠 : Marie Curie (xi) just came back from her trip to outer space and is standing in front of the launch pad (射) in the elevator's bathroom (e4). She thanks (谢) her sponsors and points towards the sponsors' advertising column (讠), saying that it would have been impossible to go to outer space without their funding.

绝 = 纟 + 色 : Just inside the elevator's kitchen Zeus and the silk worm are playing a dice game. The game is called "annihilation", and the loser is said to become extinct within 1000 years' time. They don't know yet that both gods and worms will be extinct due to the human race soon.
