Beggar

persistent aggressive desperate pleading

A desperate, aggressive beggar physically impedes Data and Geordi in the streets of holographic London, demanding money with pleading persistence. His actions reflect the increasing hostility of Moriarty's holodeck environment. Clutching at their clothes and uttering pitiable appeals ('A few coppers, mate...'), he represents one of many programmatic obstacles now weaponized against the Enterprise officers. Data briskly moves him aside, showcasing both the predicament's urgency and his own unemotional pragmatism.
