Theorycrafting - GP's Next Steps

So, I've been thinking a lot about this retconned lore that Rito has been working on and gotta say, I'm really digging it. So I started theorizing where this story could go. Here it is...

After Burning Tides, GP gets his arm chopped off due to MF's sabotage. He goes to see Illaoi for help and she tests his soul, strengthening his will. At this point, he still has a bloody stump, whereas, in game, he has a mechanical arm. Here's the question, where did he get his prosthesis? My guess is GP's next story is him venturing to Zaun to seek out someone to fix his arm. There he meets Viktor, who recognizes a man of like ambition and bestows GP with his new arm, thus instigating the next Lore Event...

The Glorious Evolution GP and Viktor team up to recoup GP's strength leading up to GP's eventual return to Bilgewater and instigating his war with Captain Fortune.

Gameplay Mode Market Sharks Takes place on a reskinned version of Crystal Scar, where it becomes Zaun's downtown Stock Exchange. Each of the 5 capture points become corporations/resources of Zaun's city center and points become stock's in each resource. Quests could be like sabotaging resources for the other team or doing hostile takeovers (or something else that I'm not clever enough to come up with).

What do you guys think? Anything to add?

Where do you want to see the lore go next?

Can we all agree MissFortune is screwed.

Great idea! I would like to see GP unite with Black Rose and reclaim Bilgewater with their help.

I may need a better look at his new arm, but how complex is it? In game I think he uses his regular hand to fire his gun, so it's possible that it is incapable of doing complex things like pulling a trigger.

Well since he squases an orange in his splash I thought he has at least some control over it, but I don't think you need Viktor to get an rather unspectacular prothesis (I think Viktor would add a lot more weaponry and not stop at just the arm) as many Zaunite or Piltover engineers should have enough knowledge to pull this off.

Question, how in the world do you make a robotic version of a pile of goo?

It is already stated that Illaoi is going to help him get bilgewater back with the help of her other "chiefs."

Doubt he got the arm from viktor,as Gps arm looks rather poorly made compared to viktors technology. Also I doubt that Viktor just hands out arm prothesis to everyone who asks for them,I mean those things are most likely very costly even for viktor.

From what GP said to Illaoi it sounds like GP actually wants to create a new crew from the inhabitants of Buhru.
