Even by Vulcan standards, Solak can be considered too “icy” by his colleagues – especially in stressful situations.  He is also known to be blunt at times, without malice.  However, this is not always understood, and he has been told several times that he lacks tact.  Solak has also known to speak the bleeding obvious.  Some of his former colleagues have secretly joked to each other that they looked forward to the day Solak became a captain - just so they could call him "Captain Obvious.:

==Transfer to the USS Veritas (aka "The Toasted Sandwich Incident")==
During a joint mission between the [[USS Veritas]] and the [[USS Solaris]], crew from both ships transported to a class-M planet that contained [[Menthar]] ruins, which ultimately was found as the source of [[Sentinel]] - an AI system design to protect Menthar key outposts and planetary systems.  Whilst in the ruins, Solak received a phaser blast to the shoulder from AI controlled orbs, which caused him to pass out.
Ensign [[Addison MacKenzie]], who was also part of the away team, tended to Solak.  He regained consciousness, but was suffering from shock and/or concussion, which caused him disorientation. He mistook Addison for an "Admiral Quierty", and mistakenly recalled the cause of his injuries as a result of Klingons that "were in a starship mess hall, throwing (explosive) flashlights at Starfleet officers", swearing in Bajoran.  Informing Addison that he "required sustenance", he requested she replicate him a "toasted Vulcan sandworm and cheese sandwich".  He also mistakenly referred to Lieutenant [[Geoffrey Teller]] as "Godfrey Queller", before telling Addison, "Admiral.  I must get you to safety.  The alpha quadrant, and my toasted sandwich, relies on it."
Word of this incident became legendary amongst the crew of the Solaris, many of whom found it a constant source of amusement.  This was punctuated when a junior officer, a Vulcan named Ensign T'Pako, replicated a toasted sandworm and cheese sandwich on a plate, and left it on his assigned bridge console for him to find at the beginning of his shift.
This led him to requesting a transfer to the USS Veritas.
