Has anyone told you about what happened with the Gremlins? If you haven't heard by now, strange things happen to us and the town, mostly us, quite often. When we first arrived in Texas they were told about an alien crash landing here in the 50s. Some people believed it was true, others thought it was just another tale like Roswell. As it turns out, the "aliens" that visited Tumblweed all those years ago was us. One minute we're here and the next we all wake up in strange pods and it's the 1950s. Those of us that were in space for a time were carrying a space-flu and accidentally passed it onto the locals. That's why the military was first established here. That's how they created the quarantine rooms, from the pods that cut off any powers.
Their biggest job is to make sure the locals don't know that we exist. You can tell someone your Mycroft Holmes, but they wont believe you. They'll even swear you look nothing like him, and that your parents are just weird and named you after a character. Anyone with powers can't show them in front of the locals, so they monitor that.
Figured you'd want a bit more detail past "They deal with strange things in the town."
