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.

Just inside the engine's kitchen the Queen of Hearts is feeling terrible.

Zorro (z) got a puzzle toy and has been puzzling it all day in front of the space station (Ø1). It consists of a cube (次) in which a mandarin (口) is locked. There should be a simple mechanism to unlock the mandarin, but Zorro finally gives up and consults (咨) a hostess (咨) floating by for tips.
Willy Walrus (w) wants to cook in the encampment's kitchen ((e)n2). The recipe book (文) is extremely greasy and Willy doesn't want it to touch anything, nor touch it. That's why he puts it into a beret (亠) so that it doesn't touch the floor, and uses pliers (乂) to turn the pages.
