Vancouver Aquarium released seven rescued harbor seal pups last week, five of them outfitted with head-mounted transmitters. The babies are being sent back to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor and prevent her child from becoming an anti-Skynet rebel.

No, wait, no. The antennas are just for tracking the seals’ movement, so aquarium vets can make sure the babies — who’ve been receiving care and rehabilitation for months — are doing OK after their release. These transmitters don’t interfere with the pups’ quality of life at all — they’re weightless in the water, and they’ll fall off by next spring when the seals molt. And the seals look so cute with their little robot hats!

And there they go! Good luck, cuddly Terminators!
