Surprisingly, not so much. Tinkertech is known to be a bunch of unstable blackboxes anyway, and as such, the PRT has a bad time proving cause UNLESS it's already instrumental in the progress of a crime.
Generally the only way to prove that a piece of Tinkertech is deadly dangerous to many people is if the Tinker threatened people with it anyway. Tech with potentially deadly implications don't ping much(see Toybox and their entire extradimensional base, with potentially spectacular consequences if it's contents violently return to normal space upon collapse(and no way to test what happens without setting it off)
That said, most natural Tinkers seem to lack massive scale effects. Probably Entity limitation to avoid the experiment ending prematurely.

Well, Nanoha strategies are pretty simple:
1. Try to talk earnestly.
2. If the other side don't listen or believe you, shoot them.
3. Rinse, repeat.
Now, how we shoot Dragon...

Emigration 4.9
For a long moment, you hold your tongue. So many ways to approach this, but there is no way to tell which is the best, and you're only going to get one shot at this.
Lying to Dragon is incredibly tempting just for how safe it is. Play to her expectations, claim you really are a Tinker. She even gave you an out! Energy manipulation is such a broad category that everything you can do fits under it, and considering that's what magic is, you wouldn't even have to make too much stuff up. 'Science up' the magical theory you've been learning just like you had Perfect Storm do to its information about telepathy, and you actually could pull it off.
But that would be just another lie, and a lie that will do nothing but buy you a little temporary comfort. Eventually she will expect you to work on some projects, and when you can't do it, she'll get suspicious. Even if you do as Perfect Storm suggests and give someone a Device that lets them be a magic Tinker, that doesn't solve the larger issue. Tiburon said he knew where you are, which means eventually someone is going to show up to reclaim their ship. That is a problem much larger than you, and there is no way you'll be able to hide it all on your own.
So you have to tell Dragon the truth, at least to some extent. While it's true that you don't know all the details about how Perfect Storm works, saying only that you found it laying on the ground would still lead to all the same problems lying would. It might even make things worse since she might think of you as no different than the Dragonslayers, a group of criminals who make it a habit to attack Dragon and have even beaten her occasionally, stealing her stuff as they ran away. Sure, you didn't steal Perfect Storm, but you certainly didn't spend too much time looking for its creator prior to the whole 'I come from outer space' revelation. That's too big a risk to take.
Only telling her about magic is little better. You won't be the first cape to claim that their abilities are mystical, and even if you frame it differently, that well was poisoned a long time ago. Myrddin, for all that he's the head of Chicago's Protectorate office, is widely regarded to be a kook, and then you have villain groups like the Adepts in New York, and the Eye in Las Vegas, and the Brujas in Los Angeles, and the Heretics in Montana, and…. Well, there are more than a few of them, and no one believes that they really do have magic powers.
If you won't lie to her, won't tell her the bare minimum, and can't limit yourself just to magic, there's one other choice that you can see. You'll have to go all the way and tell her the whole truth.
"That… is a bit of a complicated answer." Dragon's avatar gives you a look of confusion. "I guess I should start with the easiest thing. I'm not a Tinker."
"But your staff—"
"I didn't build Perfect Storm. I found it." Is that the anger you were afraid of? It's hard to tell from her fake face, no matter how expressive it is. "I was just walking through an alley and found it on the ground. Then it started talking," you add with a laugh, "which scared the life out of me. It didn't remember who built it or even what its real name was, and because I was the only person who paid it any attention for as long as it had been laying there, it offered to give me whatever I wanted. I asked to become a hero, and, well…."
"It… offered to give you what you wanted?" Dragon repeats slowly. "Because it was thankful? You make it sound… sentient. Even sapient."
Lifting the small blue jewel up into the camera's view, you say, "Dragon, I'd like to introduce you to my Intelligent Device, Perfect Storm."
«It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.»
Dragon apparently heard that, no doubt because Perfect Storm was pumping its telepathy into the video stream, and her eyes grow wide. "Intel— You're an artificial intelligence. And not a simple one, either, are you?"
«Correct. Complex intelligence and problem-solving capabilities are required to assist my mage as per design. Emotional capabilities necessary to understand user's priorities. Full intelligence was deemed the most efficient solution.»
"Your…." The Tinker looks back and forth between you and your Device several times. "Your mage?"
You nod. "That's complicated part number two. Or three, if you consider an Intelligent Device being an AI as number two. All of 'my' abilities are based on the magical theory Storm's been teaching me."
"I know that parahuman abilities can seem incredible, even magical," explains Dragon patiently, "but they really aren't. They are all rooted in science. We might not understand exactly how they work, but there is a reasonable explanation for them."
"Apparently that applies to real magic, too. When you said that you thought my specialty was energy manipulation, you weren't that far off. It's just that it uses a specific form of energy. Storm calls it mana, and I don't have a better word for it. I still can't wrap my head around exactly how it works," you caution, "but all of my spells are weird computer programs. I dump mana in, and somehow the spells turn that energy into all those different effects. They're complicated, extremely so, but I'm slowly figuring out how they work and how to make them do different things than they're programmed to do. I can even cast a few of them without needing Storm to do the calculations for me."
You carefully don't give away just how proud of that you are. You can't do much without Perfect Storm's help – make a single Flare Shooter that provides light but little else and kinda-sorta hover for a couple of seconds – but it's still progress!
"That's impossible." Dragon's flat denial cuts through your enthusiasm. "A parahuman's abilities cannot be taught. Either you have them or you do not. Tinkertech can do amazing things, but it is still a manifestation of parahuman powers. People have tried to do what you claim, hundreds of times. It just doesn't work."
"And if Storm's powers were parahuman, you'd be right. But they don't."
"It still had to be built by a parahuman—"
Now it's time for the hardest part of your explanation, the part that could really get you labeled as a whack job. «Storm,» you ask as inspiration suddenly strikes, «you didn't happen to record our trip down to the ship, did you?»
The image representing what Dragon sees is replaced by a view of ocean waves, and she falls silent as she follows you under the surface. "Do you remember those green meteors that were on the news a couple of months ago? Storm suspected that they might be parts of the ship it was on, so it tracked down where they most likely fell."
The remnant of the ship appears on-screen.
"That's what we found."
Dragon's digital face is perfectly, creepily still while she watches the video. Looking down into the abyss, moving through the ship, Perfect Storm projecting its weird wire-things, recovering the radio, and then your frantic struggle to get out before you were dragged to the bottom of the ocean. And even as impressive as that is, part of you is just glad that it doesn't show you in that embarrassingly skimpy swimsuit Storm stuffed you into.
"Huh," the world's premier Tinker says once the video is done. "That…. Mmm. I am not saying that you are lying, but you hopefully understand that it is a relatively simple undertaking to fake footage like this. Many movies have been made with that exact premise. If you are agreeable to it, I would appreciate you giving me a copy of this video so I can analyze it."
"Sure." You didn't fake the video, so giving it to her can't hurt. Speaking of things that can't hurt…. "Would you like a copy of some of the theory texts Storm has? So you can see that I'm not lying about that, either?"
"Very well. It could make for interesting reading." You give Perfect Storm a look, and it sends the files over. "Thank you. I would like to discuss an alternative explanation for your abilities, though. One that is not quite so otherworldly."
"I already said Perfect Storm knew all of them before I did, and you were the one who said that capes can't teach other people their tricks," you point out.
"I did, but there is one exception where powers can be learned. You could be a parahuman yourself. More specifically, a power mimic. It would explain quite a lot," she says to your doubtful expression. "You presumably spend the majority of your time with Perfect Storm. It shows you a new ability, and after a few times seeing it, your own powers kick in and let you duplicate it. Since you do not spend much time with other capes, not even your own team leader, you have not had a chance to learn their abilities, and as such it looks as though you do not have powers yourself but are instead learning what Perfect Storm teaches you."
You frown. You spend time with your dad, and you haven't picked up his powers. Is it even possible for someone to be a cape and not know it? Besides, you know what you saw, and you believe what Perfect Storm told you. If it says you're a mage, then that's that. "What about Samantha?" you ask once that idea pops into your head. "I spend plenty of time with her, but I can't turn into an animal or go super fast."
"If I remember correctly, there is a note in Samantha's dossier stating that she is a Case 53 but denied being one. That excuse could fly when it was assumed that you were a Blaster, but keeping in mind that your staff is Tinkertech?" She tilts her face. "Case 53s are feared and kept at arms' length by the general public, which is extremely unfortunate, but they are still less scary than even the thought of a sapient being created by some mad Tinker. If she happened to be a creation by Perfect Storm, perhaps someone literally designed to be a complement to your own fighting style? I could see your mimicry not working on her.
"Thankfully, there is an easy way to see who is right," Dragon says before you can react too visibly to her figuring out Samantha's secret origins. "I can get in touch with the Philadelphia PRT and see if you could arrange an anonymous MRI at Penn Presbyterian for you." Your face displays your confusion. "All parahumans have two additional lobes that are not present in normal humans. If you have them, an MRI will find them, and that will further support the idea that you are a Trump of some kind."
"And when you can't find these lobes?" you press.
"If we do not find these lobes, then we will have to revisit your claims of magic," admitted Dragon. "But let us speak of that once we have the results."
"I'll have to think about it."
Dragon nods. "I understand. If you decide to go through with it, just send me a message. Now, if you will excuse me, I have video footage to go over. Have a pleasant evening, Calamity."
"Bye to you, too." The video chat ends once Dragon signs off, and you lean back in your chair. Perfect Storm drifts over to hang itself off your neck, and Samantha nuzzles your hand. "Well," you say with a sigh, "I suppose that could have gone worse."
You'll notice that even though the "Mention the crashed ship" subvote didn't get anywhere close to the support it needed to win, I still included it. I had actually already planned for that to happen for the simple reason that the ship is the best evidence you have that you're neither lying nor crazy.
You get a prezzie today! As you can see, there's a special option for next week's subquest selection, marked yellow for your convenience. If you don't take it now, it won't be available next time. But will it give you anything you value? That's something you're going to have to decide for yourselves.

- Party Hardy! – You could use a break from heroing, at least for one night. Go to the party Kayleigh told you about.
- Picking up the Pieces, Part 3 – So that was a thing. Unfortunately for you and them both, dealing with angry and upset space wizards is way outside your areas of expertise. You need to talk about this with someone, but who? And how are you going to prove that you aren't crazy?
- Who do you talk to?
- What else are you doing at the time?
- A Dragon's Hoard, Part 2 – In case you missed it, Dragon is more than a little doubtful about your claims of using alien magic, even with the video of you finding part of the ship. She wants proof? Fine. Get the stupid MRI and prove to her that you're no simple parahuman. You are a mage.
- Snark Hunt – Okay, maybe you should have helped out, after all. Reports are coming in that not only have Valefor and other members of the Fallen shown up, the Teeth are no longer in Boston. Three guesses where they're headed now.
- Monstrous Menagerie – Those monsters had to come from somewhere. Have Perfect Storm do some digging, and then investigate where there seems to be the most activity. Maybe you'll get lucky.
- Helping Out the Little Guy – Look for trouble in your new home and stop it. You can write in for someone to come along with you.
- Hanging Out – This is a bit of an experiment. Pick someone to spend time with outside of combat. Write in the who, what, and where.
- Know Thyself – Spend a free period training in the simulator. May be chosen twice. Write-in for which spell to practice.

I don't think so, PutP rather explicitly is an option, but... it's a conversation. We can have a conversation with Dragon and get an MRI for her in the same day, freeing up that time to Partay!
