/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Comparison shot (exact framing a hair off):
Inspirational credit to AdmiralPatrick@dubvee.org for their Dark Matter "Especially" crossover wherin I found the existing template a bit fuzzy. Of course, seeing as there's no ~~actual~~ official HD footage to work off of (thanks, Paramount), the newer shots taken are at least more detailed.
Here is a 2x2 grid template that I had made from a fan remaster:
Though the expression and body language in your third panel is arguably more fitting for the format
Looking good.
Funny thing is, panel 3 is actually earlier in the scene right as Garak sits down. The bewildered look the result of seeing him up and about so soon after removing the device.
Yeah, my third panel is taken from when Bashir was actually saying that line. But despite that technically being more accurate to the source material, I think that is not all that necessary when creating a meme. I think your third panel is better at depicting a sort of "caught off-guard" expression that fits with the tone of the meme, whereas my third panel is more of a knowing "we're both in on the joke" expression.
It definitely works, just threw me off when I went scouting for the shots last night. A clever usage by who-the-hell-ever that made the original.
