階級式

阶 = 介 + 阝 : The pope (阝) sentenced Joan of Arc (ji) to death and wants to shoot her to outer space using a rocket (介) in front of the elevator (e1). He doesn't have a proper launch ramp, so he just uses some stone stairs (阶).

级 = 及 + 纟 : Joan of Arc (ji) closely investigates her newly arrived troops just inside the space station's entrance (Ø2). She ranks (级) them according to their level (级): First there is a silk worm (纟) which can at least shapeshift. On the next level, there is Yuwen Huaji (及), who has no comparable super power.

式 = 工 + 弋 : I'll use a specific style as mnemonic symbol: 哥特式, gothic.

Sherlock Holmes and the goth are celebrating a Viking festival in the space station's bathroom. They don't have trunks to throw around, so they use a steel beam. They also celebrate by practising archery. In zero gravity it is easy for them to set one world record after the next.
