Jona Basta pilots the RX-9/B Narrative Gundam B-Packs, a mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative movie. It is outfitted with a backpack housing wire-guided attack units connected by cables, which act as wireless remote armament when the NT-D System is activated. The suit also includes tiny shields with built-in missile launchers on both arms, as well as limited beam weaponry for battle inside space colonies.

• Small Shield: Mounted on forearms, each with built-in missile launchers.
• Wire-guided Assault Unit: Equipped in the backpack, used as remote weaponry with beam shots and ramming capabilities, also featuring Psycho Jammers for immobilizing the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex.

The Narrative Gundam B-Packs were sent with the Shezarr Unit to the Metis settlement on Side 6 to track the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex. They came across a hidden Republic of Zeon force acting as Neo Zeon remnants, the Sleeves. The B-Packs clashed with the enemy's MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein, piloted by Zoltan Akkanen, causing extensive damage to the colony.

The Phenex intervened to save the Narrative Gundam B-Packs, activating its hidden NT-D System and startling pilot Jona Basta. Jona's fury and prior failures drove the NT-D System to take control and attack the Phenex. It called the NZ-999 II Neo Zeong and ordered the B-Packs to remove their equipment before docking with the mobile armor.

Jona's fury lessened as a result of Rita Bernal's presence in the Phenex, and the Narrative Gundam undocked from the II Neo Zeong. The Republic of Zeon team withdrew after recovering control of the II Neo Zeong. The damage to the colony triggered a public relations disaster for the Earth Federation Forces, prompting them to cease future deployment of the Narrative Gundam. It was later redeployed as the RX-9/C Narrative Gundam C-Packs due to battle requirements.
