This maneuver works similarly to bonds of Jörmungandr, except that instead of dealing Strength and Constitution damage and attempting to kill the target, it injects the target with a single dose of Shutdown Serum for each successful grapple check you make. Your target is entitled to Fortitude saves to resist the poison as normal (DC = 20 or 17 + your Constitution modifier, whichever is higher), though successful Fortitude saves do not end the maneuver. The maneuver ends as soon as the foe succeeds on a grapple check, receives a 15th dose of Shutdown Serum (and therefore crosses the "lethality" threshold and succumbs to permanent unconsciousness), or you have made a number of grapple checks equal to ¼ your initiator level, rounded down.
This maneuver always takes a full-round action, even if the foe breaks free (or succumbs) on the very first or second grapple check.
A xenotheric creature can spend bio-energy points to increase the save DC by 2 per spent bio-energy point. This save DC increase lasts for the entire duration of the maneuver, but no longer (so it doesn't influence secondary saves against the Shutdown Serum).
