auto loot and scan..... automate all boring tasks

We could justify an auto loot thing as perhaps after battle your team of professional looters comes in and cleans the place out.  I shouldn't have to point at each thing and say loot this!  (I no longer carry stuff in reality, i just carry an electronic inventory of what I own in the game I play--which is why it appears weightless).  I could not justify being able to carry around shot up space suits and such even if they were  not too heavy.  Where are my pockets?  My backpack is a jump pack?  How am I supposed to hold all this junk while fighting?  I carry rocks around in my arms???? 

No, I have a team of brave porters or maybe tough robots picking up around me.  But I still have to point at every little thing (if we can sell it, we want it!) and say pick that up, and that and that.  This mod would solve that.

Fine, I can be called to open the locked up stuff.  Afterall, not everybody can be a genius, but sheesh, I should just need to say one time, get the files, the pencils, everything!  This mod makes sense when you think of it like that.

Afterall, how else could I be the leader of the biggest cleanup squad/janitorial service in the universe?  I believe it is my sacred duty to eliminate all this mess everywhere I can find it.  It should be done as efficiently as possible by a dedicated team led by me--but not done by me personally.

As for scanning for animals and plants. . . hmmm.  Better make that optional, for I am personally the Audubon of the future and the botanical equivalent.  Only I am qualified to properly identify and classify wildlife and plants in the wild.  I earned the certifications (four for plants and four for animals--even animals that look like moving plants) to prove it by pointing my device and making careful observations of all of its observations.  These observations must be seen by me at the time of scanning to be of any value (cause I will forget which data matches which animal--the scanner does not keep a picture silly).  Only I can read that the device said this or that animal could live on a farm (and strangely open all the doors in the farm but still stay nearby) or that I can raise this plant on that planet in a greenhouse (but strangely not in the same greenhouse on a different planet with lights that emulate the plant's home sun).  

Personally, I just like having an excuse to go exploring, particularly, I like to go to the beach and watch the alien sunrise or sunset.  Seeing the fish is just the excuse "Great day for fishin', ain't it?"
