Dark Heresy: The Meeting

A slight change of direction here as I'm about to run a Dark Heresy game tomorrow.

The Acolytes are asked to pick an information handover from an inquisitorial agent known as 'The Spider'. They are too meet in a small cafe in an elegant part of the city (or upper hive), but the acolytes wont be able to recognise him due to the large amounts of shape changing drugs the spider will have used to go undercover. Instead they are given a code phrase and an expected response.
However when they make landfall they find a package waiting for them written in the spiders unique encryption. It simply states the new expected response. This behaviour is out of character and doesn't match the agents usual patterns.

When they arrive at the handover 'The Spider' makes his appearance 20minutes late. He also makes the incorrect response using the one that had been designated weeks ago. What will the acolytes do and what will this impostor do if the acolytes reveal his deception? If this isn't the Spider, who is he and what happened to the original? Who delivered the package and where are they now?
