I'm going to agree with the investigative angle: I've never seen it used before, but a game we're in the process of starting has a character who is taking it to understand any precursor tech they might have.

Biology also works well as a 'payload' skill. You have an NPC who has skills you don't who needs to be delivered to a destination, but aside from that the plot doesn't really care what the skill is.
