When you query for items to pick, if you query succeeds, you'll get a Storage.Slot.Item value. Usually, you'll want to mark that item as outbound, so that future picking queries won't give back the item. To mark it outbound, you'll use code like:

Storage.Slot.Item slotItem = Storage.system.findItem("WHERE ...");
if (slotItem) {
  // mark the storage item as outbound
  slotItem.storageItem.assignedSlot = 0; 
}

It turns out that accessing the storageItem property of a Storage.Slot.Item value will make sure the value is unvirtualized.
