No kidding. And I'm not really sure why, either. Those three pages basically just boil down to "Tanya was involved in stuff that's still classified years later."
Oh, I think I just figured it out. I'm pretty sure this is the author's very clumsy attempt at foreshadowing. (Does it still count as foreshadowing if the author literally skips ahead into the future to tell readers something that's going to happen soon in the main story?)
