If they can turn us, we can turn them.
The reverse crossing has never been observed. The modelling says it takes the host apart from inside.

Low-copy methylated LERV in the general population is what HHDRV normally meets. High-expression LERV is what Type-V meets.
Type-V is what happens when haemophagic material enters a Lycian. Reverse dissolution is the other arrow: a Lycian bite into a haemophagic host. The Committee has zero observed cases. The analysis is derived from the framework's account of colony mutation and internal dissolution, corroborated by behaviour — the Accords clause, territorial deference, signals intelligence suggesting the outcome is not used because it cannot be controlled.
A hydraulic, -driven immune and metabolic insult inside a body whose brainstem is already occupied does not produce a second phenotype. It produces a consortium coming apart from the inside. Both directions of cross-infection are mutual-destruction weapons. The managed surface holds in part because everyone who understands this prefers the surface.
