The Hive on the Moon before Shadowkeep made the Moon a permanent address. Crota's will is distributed across the Hive hierarchy, the cult of the Sword Logic operating through every cultist who carries the mission forward. The war with the Hive has no end because Hive theology is built around the idea that dying in service of the sword is the highest possible offering. The making it count is the Guardian's answer to that theology: not a matching absolutism but the specific choice to matter in each engagement rather than win the conflict overall.
