We propose a 500 ksec ACIS-I observation to study the interaction between energy outbursts from the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in M87 and its surrounding gaseous atmosphere. We will inventory the plasma bubbles inflated by the SMBH, search for weak shocks, study the interaction of relativistic plasma in bubbles with the surrounding hot gas, measure turbulence in the cluster gas, study the microphysics of the interaction between the plasma in the bubbles and the surrounding gas, and estimate the gas viscosity by measuring the width of shock fronts. By determining the energy associated with bubbles and shocks, we can chronicle the mechanical power output of the SMBH. Finally we will study particle acceleration and cooling models by measuring inter-knot spectra along the jet.
