The youngest of three children trapped in a turbolift with Captain Picard in 2368, whom Picard appoints officer in charge of radishes to keep his spirits up.
Patterson Supra is a small boy living aboard the USS Enterprise-D. He appears in the episode Disaster, played by Max Supera.
Patterson, Marissa Flores and Jay Gordon are the winners of the ship's primary school science fair, and their prize is a tour with the captain. Patterson's project involved growing radishes. When a quantum filament cripples the ship, the turbolift carrying them drops and stops, and Picard's ankle is broken.
To calm the frightened children Picard makes them his crew. Marissa becomes his first officer, Jay Gordon his science officer, and Patterson his executive officer in charge of radishes. The four climb out through the lift shaft, singing to keep their nerve. Afterwards the children present the captain with a plaque to thank him.
