I'm fairly flexible- I'd prefer either short bursts or long low-intensity play too. Once I get the 'We All Want to Change the World' epilogue done, I'll make a few inquiries for players elsewhere. Like I mentioned, I'm increasingly thinking of using a basic form of PDQ to handle challenges to players and their resolutions. (http://www.atomicsockmonkey.com/freebies.asp#pdq)

Tentative initial scenario would be Betan survey personnel captured and secretly held without contact with the outside world on Barrayar, reason unknown to them. This would be set during the approximate timeframe of Shards of Honor/Barrayar. PCs could be from any advanced planet on decent terms with Beta Colony (I have a tentative set of pre-gens that includes a Jacksonian and an Escobaran) and there'd be opportunities to play (male) Barrayaran military PCs as well.
