Charles Emmerson

Charles Emmerson was an Army Engineer.

Emmerson, who served as chief engineer on the building of the Liberty Defense Perimeter, credit’s the tower’s record-breaking construction time to the thousands of dedicated men and women of the U.S. military, many of whom went months without a day off. The initiative began in early September, when President Grace declared a state of emergency following the so called “spire attack” in the northeast.

When asked if he expects the tower to prevent further spire attacks, Emmerson replied with a confident grin.

“This tower fires high-velocity concussion shells with a range of over fifty miles. I wouldn’t want to be standing in front of it.”
